This manual provides a list of all the model definition keywords and options available in Radioss.
Engine Keyword In this group of keywords are used to generally define the output style, control of computation, damping and ALE setup during the computation.
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used for modification (deletion or add options) in Engine.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing averaged grip point strain data calculated by bilinear extrapolation using shape functions from the integration point results. The average value at each node is calculated by each element which connected to this node.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing averaged grip point stress data calculated by bilinear extrapolation using shape functions from the integration point results. The average value at each node is calculated by each element which connected to this node.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing simple average GPS data. The average value at node is calculated by the mean stress of all elements, which are connected to this node.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing volume based averaged GPS data, which is done by the relative element volumes (connected to same node use Vi/V total).
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing nodal masses.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing nodal scalar data.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing vectorial data for the specified variable.
Engine Keyword
Engine Keyword In this group keywords are used for implicit solution. Different implicit solver methods (linear, nonlinear, buckling or quasi-static), different options to control the implicit computation, different implicit time step method and implicit output messages are introduced.
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used to define the kinematic condition (constrain/release rotation or translation DOF) and initial condition (rotational/translational velocity).
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used to define different time step control (STOP, KILL, CST or DEL, etc.) for different entities (shell, brick, beam, airbag, interface, etc.) during the computation.
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used to output different info (like stress, strain, orthotropy direction, temperature, etc.) in state file (STA-File).
Engine Keyword Keywords that are still supported, but no longer maintained (*) are considered obsolete.
This manual contains an alphabetical list of LS-DYNA input files available in Radioss.
