[WRITE] KEYWORD DATA

[WRITE] KEYWORD DATA

This figure (right) shows the KEYWORD DATA control panel.

"keyword data" output means results for a <list> of standard entity types written into a keyword file instead of output to screen. The keyword output can also be exported back to the original keyword model in an integrated PRIMER session. The output is similar to that of [WRITE] ENTITY, but it has been arranged into DYNA keyword format so that it can be read into DYNA as initial data of a model.

To use this panel:

• Select if the keyword data needs to exported to PRIMER or written out into a file
• Select an entity type, eg Beams or Shells
• Define a <list> of entities in the selection popup box
• Select the data component(s)
• Select the output .key file OR export to PRIMER
• Press APPLY to generate output OR export to linked PRIMER session
