How to use block format

Altair Forum User

Hello!Everyone!

I am a new student about using Radioss Block Format to make buckling simulation.

I am using Hypermesh v12.0 Radiossblock (block110 Format) right now.

But I still do not know how to make nonlinear buckling simulation.

How to get the ENG_IMPL_NONLIN and ENG_IMPL_BUCKL?

Where are the buttons for ENG_IMPL_ (in the picture I just uploaded)?

After I pressed the button of control card, what should I do next?

Thank you so much!

you can find more information about the implicit non linear cards from the help documents.

You can check the tutorial RD-3530: Buckling of a Tube using Half Tube Mesh on parameters to input for buckling analysis.

Hi Prakashpagadala

Thank you so much for your reply. It really helps me.

But could you tell me how to set /IMPL/PRINT?NONLIN/-1 into the Engine file?

Where can I find the buttons in the picture which I have uploaded?

Please tell me some details.

Thanks a lot.

you should see ENG_IMPL_PRINT_NONLIN use that card to define printout frequency for non linear implicit.

in the Nprint field you can enter the number after clicking.

you will find the buttons in the panel area, just go to Analysis > control cards to create engine cards

Hello RahulPonginan

Thank you for your reply.

I am using Radioss Block Format 11.0 and 12.0 version

And I just went to Analysis > control cards. But I can not get the things what you said.

What I get I have uploaded in the picture below.

Could you tell me more details about how to find ENG_IMPL_BUCKL or ENG_IMPL_NONLIN?

Which one is the engine cards?

Thank you so much.

as told in the earlier post, IMPLICIT cards are directly available from V 12.0.

to access implicit cards, go to analysis page--> Control Cards. here you will find all engine parameter cards. Engine parameters starts with the letters ENG_ followed by card name,

card names are organised alphabetically and you should find them easily. click next/previous to find the required cards.

for instance, ENG_IMPL_BUCKL1(2) are available in 7th page of control cards.

When I go to analysis page and press the Control Cards

I can only get the things as shown in the pictures below.

Could you tell me what is the mistake?

Thank you so much.
