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 Write animation files (A-files) at a time frequency equal to Tfreq, the first file being written at time Tstart. The animation file name will be RunnameAnnn where Runname is the Run Name and nnn is the file number.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files in GZIP format.
Engine Keyword Write additional animation files (Animation Output File (A-File)) when a sensor in the list is activated.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files with one part for each material.
Engine Keyword Write additional animation files (Animation Output File (A-File)) with a time frequency equal to Tfreq, the first file being written once sensor activated. (The activation of sensor will be defined in /SENSOR).
Engine Keyword Write additional name description to the animation file content.
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Engine Keyword Keywords that are still supported, but no longer maintained (*) are considered obsolete.
