Hello everyone,

 

For the first time we are working with series of radioss files.

At a given time of the calculation , for example at t=10s, we would like to continue the calculation by deleting a component. The reason is that this componenet is RDX gaz and is causing problems at the interfaces at a time he is no longer important in our model.

In the HELP documentation we found that it was possible to delete a defined set or list of elements, but we are trying to delete an entire component, If any one could help us please !

 

In the new file of calculation  _002.rad we want to use /DEL/????? for example like  /DEL/Component

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>Capture.PNG

    Hi,

    You can delete the elements belonging to that component in the second engine file using /DEL/Eltyp/1 command.

    Specify the first and last element number of a range to delete so that the entire elements in that specified range will be deleted.
