Starter and Engine Setup

The Runname_nnnn.sta is written by entering the following keyword in the Radioss Engine files.

This must be set in /STATE/DT in the Engine file.

   /STATE/DT
   Tstart    Tfreq
   Part_ID1 ... Part_IDN

STATE files are written with a time frequency Tfreq, the first file being written at time Tstart.

As of Version 11.0, /STATE/STR_FILE can also be used in Engine file to write /INISHE, /INISH3 and /INIBRI in a separate file, which can be compressed (using GZIP).

This file can be read in Starter with the same keyword /STATE/STR_FILE (Runname_run#.sta File).

Comments

  1. The first lines of an element are always written, even if there is no element of that type. In such a case, a line is left blank below the option.
  2. First line is always #RADIOSS Runname_nnnn.sta according to the /IOFLAG keyword.
  3. The Runname_nnnn.sta file always finishes with #ENDDATA.
