PAM-CRASH Interface

New Features

  • New keywords – MMAT, MPART (ATYPE = SHELL, SOLID), LOOKU, NUMPAR, SECURE (ENCRYTYP = MMAT, MPART), TRSSEQ.
  • Modular material and parts – New modular keywords MMAT, MPART (ATYPE = SHELL, SOLID), LOOKU, NUMPAR, SECURE (ENCRYTYP = MMAT, MPART) are supported. Added new failure entity to create Damage and Failure Parameters of MMAT. Mapped Look-Up Table Card (LOOKU) to curve entity with ARGUMENT and FUNCTION as attributes.
  • Transformation sequence – Added new keyword TRSSEQ and mapped to Position/Transformation entity. Transformation Sequence cards allow you to specify a sequential order in which the transformations (TRSFM) will be performed.
  • ID parameterization – Added support of keyword ID parameterization of PAM-CRASH keywords SENSOR, DELEM, FUNCSW, FUNCT, SECURE_FUNCT, FRAME, RUPMO, CDATA, CHEM, CNTPTY, DMPEW, FRICT, LAYER, NLAVE, OPTLIS.
  • Undefined GROUP (Sets) – Support of undefined GROUP (Set) entity, keyword has Defined checkbox toggled off and is automatically not exported. The “GROUP /" keyword referenced through GRP, OGRP, GRP>NOD, DELGRP, DELOGRP, DELGRP>NOD selection is maintained even if the definition does not exist. Undefined sets are merged by name as opposed to ID. Added info check into model checker to report the number of defined and undefined Set GROUP keywords.

Enhancements

  • Penetration check accounts for minimum thickness instead of maximum in common edge nodes.

Resolved Issues

  • SECFO keyword entity selection field labels are renamed to Main and Secondary entity IDs.
  • Prime control card PROFILE_DMP is printed before other data to avoid solver errors.
  • Added ID pool support for new style entities TRSFM, TRSSEQ, PICIMP, PICEXP to avoid renumbering. Keywords list in ID Manager individually rather in single Position entity.
