Active element.
 

Comments

  1. Damage in springs is defined as the maximum value between time 0 and the current time of the displacement versus failure displacement ratio: (1)
    DAM = max t ( δ ( t ) δ max )
  2. For /PROP/TYPE13 (SPR_BEAM) springs, damage direction 1 is traction/compression, 2 and 3 are shear y and z.
  3. For /PROP/TYPE8 (SPR_GENE) springs, damage directions 1, 2 and 3 are, respectively x, y and z.
  4. The "SPH outputs" are available with /ANIM/Eltyp = ELEM/Restype (all Restype values; except Restype = THIC or HOURG). The Restype values: DAM1, DAM2 or DAM3 are only available with material LAW24 for brick element.
  5. Element time step shows in animation only if elementary time step are computed for this element by Radioss. If nodal time step used (/DT/NODA) in computation , then no element time step shows in animation.
