This program checks the output files of the simulation (eg mes00xx) for all kind of failed elements. It gives a summarized information about failure reason (eg neg. volume, neg. jacobian) and properties of failed elements. Optional creation of session files for display and grouping of failed elements in Animator.
| usage: | check-failed [options] message-file[s] |
options:
| -xfail | check for failed elements (default – turned off by “-xnan”) |
| -list | list with elements and times |
| -relax | check only for failed elements during dynamic relaxation phase |
| -tstart <time> | check only for failed elements after <time> |
| -tend <time> | check only for failed elements before <time> |
| -pid | give PID summary and PID for -list |
| -g <d3plot> | optional d3plot-file (needed for property info) default: d3plot |
| -ide <opt> | create postprocessor (Animator4 or LSPP) session file for displaying elements that failed during LS-DYNA run (“ide ele ###”) values for <opt>: all – all failed elements shell – failed shells solid – failed solids beam – failed beams jacob – failed shells due to negative Jacobian volume – failed solids due to negative volume cohesive- failed cohesiv solids due to failed neighbor master – failed beams due to failed master segment (spotweld) spotstp – failed welds due to unconstrained nodes (spotweld) assembly- failed solids due to failed weld assembly (spotweld) relax – failed elements during dynamic relaxation phase (all types) |
| -lspp | postprocessor session/command file is for LSPP (default is Animator4) |
| -group | create Animator4 session file for generating groups (Jacobian, negative volume, and other failed elements) |
| -xnan | check for nodes with NAN values (=”-xnanf -xnanv”) |
| -xnanf | check for nodes with NAN forces |
| -xnanvelo | check for nodes with NAN velocities |
| -a4nan | write Animator4 session file for selected NAN type |
| -metanan | write Meta session file for selected NAN type |
| -lsppnan | write LSPP command file for selected NAN type |
| -sprefix <pre> | prefix for session-filenames |
| -version | version info |
Example:
% DM.check_failed -l -pid mes*
