Definition

Comments

1. The syntax /H3D/ELEM/Keyword3 is also valid.
2. When PART IDs are listed after the /H3D/SPRING line the specified results will only be output for those parts.
3. The scalar output is defined in the following tables.

   Table 1. Scalar Output

   Keyword3	Description
   AMS	Elements using AMS timestep due to /DT/CST_AMS.
   DAM1, DAM2, DAM3	Damage in direction 1, 2 or 3. 4
   DT	Element timestep.
   ENER	Specific energy density (internal energy divided by the element mass).
   EPSP	Plastic strain.
   F1, F2, F3	Force in local coordinate system. F1 Force in X direction F2 Force in Y direction F3 Force in Z direction
   FORC	All forces and moments in local coordinate system. F1, F2, F3, M11, M21, M31, M12, M22, M32.
   GROUP	Internal group identifier
   M11, M21, M31, M12, M22, M32	Moment in local coordinate system. M11 Moment in X at node 1 M21 Moment in Y at node 1 M31 Moment in Z at node 1 M12 Moment in X at node 2 M22 Moment in Y at node 2 M32 Moment in Z at node 2
   MASS	Element mass
   OFF	Element status. Where the result output is: = -1 Element is not active (it is defined in an activated rigid body). = 0 Deleted element. Between 0 and 1 Under failure process. = 1 Active element.

4. Damage in springs is defined as the maximum value between time 0 and the current time of the displacement versus failure displacement ratio: (1)
   $$DAM={\max }_t\left(\frac{\delta \left(t\right)}{{\delta }_{\max }}\right)$$

   For TYPE13 (/PROP/SPR_BEAM) springs, damage direction 1 is traction/compression, 2 and 3 are shear y and z.

   For TYPE8 (/PROP/SPR_GENE) springs, damage directions 1, 2 and 3 are, respectively x, y and z.
