PARAMi

Name of parameter. See below for valid names.

VALi

Value of parameter.

The available parameters and their values are listed below (click the parameter name for a detailed parameter descriptions).

Parameter

Brief Description

Value

HMMOVE

Controls the element conversion method in geometric nonlinear analysis.

<YES or NO>

Default = NO

HMNAME

Controls the conversion of the component, property and material names in geometric nonlinear analysis.

<YES or NO>

Default = NO

NLAFILE

Controls the output of animation files (A-File) in geometric nonlinear analysis.

<YES or NO>

Default = NO

NLRFILE

Controls the output of restart files (R-File) in geometric nonlinear analysis.

<YES or NO>

Default = NO

NLRUN

Controls whether the geometric nonlinear analysis subcases run automatically after these subcases in bulk format are converted into block format.

<YES or NO>

Default = YES

RBE2RBD

RBE2 is converted to /RBE2 by default in geometric nonlinear analysis. This parameter can be used to convert RBE2 to /RBODY, instead of /RBE2.

<YES or NO>

Default = NO

SH4NRP

Controls the full projection of 4-node shell elements in NLGEOM implicit analysis.

<0, 1, 2>

Default = 0 in NLGEOM subcase

Default = 1 in IMPDYN subcase

SMDISP

Used to specify if small displacement formulation or large displacement formulation is used.

<0, 1>

Default = 0

SNAPTHRU

Controls the output of the force-deflection curve in geometric nonlinear analysis.

<YES or NO>

Default = NO

XPENTA15

Controls the support of the second order PENTA element with 15 nodes in geometric nonlinear analysis.

<0, 1>

Default = 0

Comments

1.The parameters defined by RADPRM bulk card are only applied in geometric nonlinear analysis subcases which are defined by ANALYSIS = EXPDYN. It is ignored for all other subcases.
2.The parameters NLAFILE, NLRFILE, NLRUN, SH4NRP, SMDISP and SNAPTHRU can also be defined by PARAM bulk card. However, if any of these parameters is defined by both PARAM and RADPRM cards at the same time, PARAM definition is ignored and RADPRM is used.
