Radioss offers the capability to store the deformed mesh and its corresponding material state between different simulations. This feature gives an excellent flexibility in multi-stage simulations, such as:
- Considering the manufacturing process into a crash simulation
- Consecutive drop test simulations
- Dummy and seat settling for a crash Loadcase
Some element states that can be recorded are:
- Nodal positions (deformed mesh)
- Element thickness
- Stress and strains
- Temperature
- Fiber orientation
This article includes:
- A presentation showing how /STATE keyword works and how to use it
- An example tensile test model with comparison using and without using /STATE
The Model and Presentation can be downloaded here.
