Contents

rs_name

File name for reference state

(Character, maximum 100 characters)

Nitrs

Number of steps from reference to initial state

Default = 100  (Integer)

RSOFMT

RS0 file format

Default = 0  (Integer)

= 0: the RS0 file read is a version 5 or later RADIOSS file (Integer on 10 digits, Real on 20 digits).

= 1: the RS0 file read is a version 4 RADIOSS file (Integer on 8 digits, Real on 16 digits).
hmtoggle_plus1Comments
1.The default (blank line) reference state file name is RunnameRS0.
2.A reference state file contains the reference coordinates of the nodes (input format is the same as for node coordinates in /NODE option; lines starting with # are comment lines).
3.A reference state file does not necessarily contain the coordinates of all nodes in the model. If no coordinates are given for a node, initial coordinates are used instead.
4.Enhanced reciprocity will be obtained if Nitrs is increased.
5.Reference state is available:
•for shells using /MAT/LAW1, /MAT/LAW19 or /MAT/LAW58
•4-node tetrahedron elements using Iframe =2 (co-rotational formulation)
•8-node bricks using Isolid =1, 2 or 24 and Iframe =2
