PAM-CRASH 2G Interface 2021.1 Release Notes

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. Model Checker will give a warning if TRSSEQ is empty or if there are no references of TRSFM definitions.
Reference geometry
The Reference Geometry entity provides better support of the airbag reference geometry keyword METRIC. A dedicated graphical representation allows the visualization of the airbag patches. The interactive modification of the nodes defining the METRIC is also possible directly on the graphic.
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

  • PART (ID of NUMAPR can be referred to under IDNUMPAR), MATER (ID of LOOKU can be referred to Material Type 1, 52, 117, 304, 307), FRICT (ID of LOOKU can be referred to type IFROPT = 13), PFSURF (QUALIFIER=LOOKUP and VALUE=ID), METRIC, GROUP.
  • 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.
  • IDNUMPAR of PART card is an entity selector that refers to the NUMPAR keyword.
  • Look-Up ID of MATER (Type 1, 52, 117, 304, 307), FRICT (IFROPT = 13) and PFSURF cards is an entity selector that refers to the LOOKU keyword.
  • 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.
