RADIOSS Starter checks for consistency between format lines and prompts errors and warnings, if they exist. The output file runname_0000.out contains useful information helping to debug models.
The following checks are useful in the output file:
| • | Errors and Warnings Messages: |
| - | All errors must be corrected |
| - | Warning to be corrected: |
| • | Real incompatible kinematic conditions |
| • | Check Time Step (element and nodal): |
| - | How many elements control time step? If a few, then modify the mesh to optimize the time step. |
| • | Check Mass and Inertias: |
| - | Mass scaling causes instability. It is worthwhile to check the center of gravity computed by RADIOSS. That should fit the physical center of gravity. |
| Note: | Small elements, beams, springs and spotwelds need to be closely observed. |
