RADPRM, SNAPTHRU

Bulk Data Entry The RADPRM, SNAPTHRU parameter controls the output of the force-deflection curve in explicit dynamic analysis.

Definitions

Parameter	Values	Description
SNAPTHRU	<YES, NO>	YES The converter will generate rigid bodies internally and outputs the time history for rigid body forces in the Time-History (TH) file. This is valid only when grids are defined on the 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.
