Monitored volume in Optistruct

Simon Križnik

Hi,

 

I am trying to convert Radioss file containing monitored volume (perfect gas) to Optistruct. In the convert browser the monitored volume is marked green i.e. 'all active attributes for a given entity are mapped'. After conversion there is control volume listed as type airbag, but with no parameters other than entity selection. When running analysis in Optistruct (static and explicit dynamic) it seems like monitored volume has no effect on the results. Am I missing something?

Hi Ivan,

 

MONVs are compatible in OptiStruct.
