Overview
Script to create PLOAD cards for Radioss model based on an equation. Time function curves and Load Collectors, and Set Segments are automatically created.
Steps:
- User can select elements graphically.
- PLOAD card for each element is created.
- Magnitude of each PLOAD is calculated by an equation, to be found in script procedure "MAG_value". Edit this expression according to your needs. The example uses coordinates of element centres to calculate the MAG value.
- Time function curve/s and load collector/s are created and assigned to PLOAD/s, according to variable values for "LoadCol_create" / "TimeFunc_create" (see above).
- For each PLOAD card, a set segment /SURF/SEG/ is created and assigned.
Pre-Requisite
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This script is designed for Radioss user profile in HyperMesh.
Script header contains 2 user variables, that can be changed accordingly.
variable "LoadCol_create"
- value = 1: create one load collector for all PLOADs
- value = 2: create one load collector for each PLOAD
variable "TimeFunc_create"
- value = 1: create one time function curve for all PLOADs
- value = 2: create one time function curve for each PLOAD
Note:
This version of the script (v2) does not contain logic to check for already existing labels of entities. This stage of the script may fail.
The to-be-used new label syntax can be edited in the script as well.
