D3PLOT 22.1

SPOTWELD LSDA (binout) Data Components

As the output frequency of data to the LSDA binout file can be different to the output frequency of the D3PLOT (PTF) file there is no guarantee that data in LSDA file will be available at exactly the same time as the states in the PTF file. When plotting data from the LSDA file D3PLOT will find the output state closest to the PTF file time. If the nearest LSDA time is not within 10% of the PTF output frequency then no data will be available for Spotwelds at that PTF time.

The following data components are only written to the LSDA (binout) file if the *DATABASE_SWFORC option is set.

SPOTWELD_FORCE

SPOTWELD_SHEAR

SPOTWELD_FAILURE

SPOTWELD_FTIME

SPOTWELD_TORSION

SPOTWELD_LENGTH

The following additional data components are only written to the LSDA (binout) file if the *DATABASE_DCFAIL option is set.

DCFAIL_FAILURE

DCFAIL_NORMAL

DCFAIL_SHEAR

DCFAIL_BENDING

DCFAIL_AREA
