Comments
- A rigid body is set ON by default. All the elements belonging to the rigid body are deactivated in Radioss Starter.
- If the Ipri flag defined in /IOFLAG has a value greater than or equal to 5, a list of deactivated elements is written in the Starter output file (_0000.out).
- This optimization is not done if a rigid body is defined with a sensor (sens_ID ≠ 0), in which case the elements will not be deactivated.
- By default the domain decomposition will not take into account the CPU cost of these deactivated elements.
- If Ioptoff is set to 1, the domain decomposition will continue to take into account the CPU cost of these elements, as they will be reactivated (worth using when the rigid body is set to OFF in Engine Input).
- If sens_ID≠ 0:
- The rigid body is activated and deactivated by the sens_ID;
- The added mass (Mass) and added inertia (Lines 4 and 5) are not used;
- The center of gravity computation (ICoG) flag is ignored;
- The rigid wall deactivation (Ikrem) flag is equal to 1;
- The rigid body is active (not active) when the sensor is not active (respectively, active);
- At the beginning of the simulation (time t=0), the rigid body is activated, as long as the sensor is not active;
- In order to deactivate the rigid body at the beginning of the simulation (from time t=0), use a sensor that is active at time t=0.
- If a rigid body is activated using the Radioss Engine option /RBODY, the center of the gravity computation (ICoG) flag is then ignored; the rigid body is activated with respect to ICoG =2 characteristics.
- Ispher, inertia
flag.
If the ratio of the maximum principal inertia to the minimum principal inertia is greater than 1000, the default option Ispher = 2 will add 10% of the maximum principal inertia to the minimum principal. This improves the model stability.
The spherical inertia option Ispher = 1 is recommended when a rigid body is a similar size or smaller than the elements to which it is connected. One example is a rigid body with two secondary nodes. This helps with the stability of the connected elements, if a rigid body has the same order of size or is smaller than the elements to which it is connected.
- The envelope surface must only contain hyperellipsoids (Surfaces).
- Inertia is given in the skew system reference frame.
- By default, the global reference frame is used.
- /RBODY is not compatible with the rigid material (/MAT/LAW13).
- With Ifail=1, the rigid body is deactivated when the one of failure
criteria is reached.If the following failure criteria is reached for one secondary node.
(1) Where,- Force in the normal direction.
- Force in the tangential (shear) plane.
Also,- Normal direction for each secondary node is defined from the main node to the secondary node.
- Tangential direction is perpendicular to the normal direction.
