/DT/SPHCEL/Keyword3

Engine Keyword Generates the SPH cells time step control type.

Format

/DT/SPHCEL/Keyword3

Δ T sca Δ T min

Definition

Field Contents SI Unit Example
Keyword3 Time step control type:
DEL
The SPH cell which is controlling the time step is removed so that the constant time step, Δ T min can be maintained.
STOP
The run will stop, if the SPH cells time step reaches Δ T min and a restart file will be written.
KILL
The computation is killed, if the SPH cells time step reaches Δ T min

If Keyword3 is not specified, that is, /DT/SPHCEL, then the shell elements will use the Δ T min is not used.

 
Δ T sca Scale factor on time step for option SPHCEL.  
Δ T min Minimum time step for option SPHCEL.  

Comments

  1. This option can be used with the /DT/NODA. In such case, the criteria for deleting a SPH cell (or stopping, or killing the computation) is:

    Δ T sca 2 m K * Δ t min

  2. Nodal time step is generally more robust.
