This manual provides a list of all the model definition keywords and options available in Radioss.
Engine Keyword In this group of keywords are used to generally define the output style, control of computation, damping and ALE setup during the computation.
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used for modification (deletion or add options) in Engine.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing shell element data for the specified result. Options used for SHELL type of element.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing a damage value for each layer of a shell element. The damage value is the maximum of damage over time of all failure criteria associated to the material.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing plastic strain as function of a shell element integration point.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing the FLD damage factor for the FLD failure model.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing the FLD failure zone factor for the FLD failure model as function of a shell element integration point.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing integer value, defining if a shell belong to a given ply.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing shell tensor data for shell elements that use ply based composite properties, /PROP/STACK (TYPE17), /PROP/TYPE51, or /PCOMPP.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing damage values for shell elements that use ply based composite properties, /PROP/STACK (TYPE17), /PROP/TYPE51, or /PCOMPP. The damage value is the maximum of damage over time and of all failure criteria associated to the material.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing plastic strain for shell elements that use ply-based composite properties, /PROP/STACK (TYPE17), /PROP/TYPE51, or /PCOMPP.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing angle between element skew and direction 1 orthotropy.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing the instability factor of NXT failure model as function of a shell element integration point.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing the first normalized principal stress as function of a shell element integration point.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing the second normalized principal stress as function of a shell element integration point.
Engine Keyword Generates animation output for the time at which a shell element is deleted. The rupture time is output only for elements which are deleted, due to a /FAIL criterion. Failure criteria built in materials are ignored.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing shell tensor data for a specified result.
Engine Keyword
Engine Keyword In this group keywords are used for implicit solution. Different implicit solver methods (linear, nonlinear, buckling or quasi-static), different options to control the implicit computation, different implicit time step method and implicit output messages are introduced.
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used to define the kinematic condition (constrain/release rotation or translation DOF) and initial condition (rotational/translational velocity).
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used to define different time step control (STOP, KILL, CST or DEL, etc.) for different entities (shell, brick, beam, airbag, interface, etc.) during the computation.
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used to output different info (like stress, strain, orthotropy direction, temperature, etc.) in state file (STA-File).
Engine Keyword Keywords that are still supported, but no longer maintained (*) are considered obsolete.
