/PERTURB/PART/SHELL
Block Format Keyword This option can be used to study the robustness of a design by generating different thickness values for every shell element in the specified part group. The random noise scale factors can have either a normal (Gaussian) distribution or random distribution.

Comments
- Two computations with the same values, Seed will return exactly to the same results. Currently the only valid parameter is THICK.
- Due to discretization, the random noise in the model will not exactly match the input random noise values. However, the model’s actual random noise values are calculated and output in the Starter output file.
- Seed is an integer used to initialize random number generation for the random noise. The Seed can be changed to study sensitivity or model robustness. If Seed=0, a random (different) seed value is calculated for each run and written to the Starter output. To rerun an analysis with Seed=0, use the Seed value written to the Starter output in the original analysis as input in the analysis rerun.
- If Idistri=1, the distribution of the scale factors will be
random.If Idistri=2, the normal distribution of the scale factors will have the following probability density function.
