Card Image Question

MartinaC

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a card image to import node information as text file in a FE model in Optistruct. I have to import residual stresses due to production process, so they are pre-processing information.

I found IC card image in GLOBAL_CASE_CONTROL. What about that card? I did not find any description about it.

 

Best regards

Martina

The IC command may be used in the Subcase Information section to select initial conditions for Transient and Explicit Analysis. I guess this card will not work for your requirement.

To import residual stresses from production process you could explore mapping capabilities of Hypercrash and Simlab.
