    Hi,

     

    please refer to Radioss help (help>hyperworks help home>radioss or F1).

    Tstop is the simulation end time.

    Tfreq is frequency to write either animation or history plot file.

    Hi mohamed amine

     

    Tstop is for defining the termination time for the run. The simulation will terminate when the time reaches the Tstop value.

    Tfreq is for defining the start time and frequency for writing the animation files. This will create animation files of the simulation with specified intervals which you can view in Hyperview

    Tfile is the request for time history file(T01) for plotting graphs and plots.

    DT is the keyword used  to impose minimum time step values for corresponding element types or nodes
