PARAM, SNAPTHRU

Bulk Data Entry This parameter controls the output of the force-deflection curve in geometric nonlinear analysis.

Note: Obsolete parameter - use RADPRM, SNAPTHRU.

Parameter	Values	Description
`SNAPTHRU`	YES, NO	PARAM, `SNAPTHRU` controls the output of the force-deflection curve in geometric nonlinear analysis. YES The converter will generate rigid bodies internally and output the time history for rigid body forces in the Time-History (TH) file. This is valid only when grids are defined on XHIST Bulk Data Entry with `TYPE` = GRID and `ENTRY`=DEF simultaneously. The force-deflection curve can be cross plotted with the grid displacements and corresponding rigid body forces in HyperGraph. NO (Default) Output of the force-deflection curve is not requested and the internal rigid bodies are not generated.
