Modif Input File

The Modif file allows the following options to be added during a run:
  • Groups, lines or surfaces
  • Interfaces
  • TH output (except Subsets and Parts)
  • Restart SPMD simulation with different number of processors

Modif files have the name: Runname_run#.rad

where, run# is the Radioss run number four digits from 0000 to 9999 and run# is the name of the last Restart file + 1.

For example, to run a Modif file after the first run, restart file Runname_0001_cpu.rst

where, cpu # is the number of processors (four digits), and cpu # = 0000 = SMP Radioss version.

The run number for the Modif file must be Runname_0002.rad.

Figure 1 illustrates the use of a Modif file: Name of the input file and the name of the program to be used.

Modif files use the same input format as Radioss V10 Block input format; with the exception of a limited choice of options are available.

Except for the header formats, blocks may be input in any order.

The Modif files option is not compatible if using Madymo- Radioss Coupling.

Run Description Header Format

This line must be the first in Radioss deck.

# Radioss Starter

The following keywords are available.

All types of elements or node groups:
All options: To find the exact format, refer to the relevant section of this manual.
Note: Use Istf=0 in /INTER/TYPE7 and /INTER/TYPE11. Istf=2, 3, 4, and 5 are not available in these two interfaces.

Comments

  1. Input deck must begin with "# Radioss Starter".
  2. After the header format, you may insert comment lines. These lines must begin with $ or #.
  3. If you need to have a Runname (run identification name), this input is introduced by the keyword /BEGIN.
