.sta file in RADIOSS command line

Altair Forum User

Hello,

I'm wondering if I can generate a .sta file like in a stamping simulation with an Engine Keyword in RADIOSS 0001 card? Anyone know if it's possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Include the keywords /STATE/DT with time frequency and part IDs in the Radioss engine file. This outputs a .sta file with <runname>_#.sta in the working directory.

It is recommended to use /STATE/SHELL/STRESS/FULL, /STATE/SHELL/AUX/FULL and /STATE/SHELL/STRAIN/FULL for being able to completely restore the state of shells and 3-node shells in a general case.

here is a sample engine file with /STATE/ keywords:
/VERS/110
/RUN/new/1/
0.02001
/TITLE

/ANIM/DT
0.000000000000000 0.010000000000000
/PRINT/-50
/TFILE/0
1.00000000000000E-04
/RFILE
1000
/DT
0.900000000000000 0.000000000000000
/STATE/NODE/TEMP
/STATE/SHELL/AUX/FULL
/STATE/SHELL/EPSP/FULL
/STATE/SHELL/ORTHL
/STATE/SHELL/STRAIN/FULL
/STATE/SHELL/STRESS/FULL
/STATE/DT
0.000000000000000 0.020000000000000
