Keywords

PRIMER allows you to create, modify, list and delete the constituent parts of an input deck, and this is done by object category, ie "Keyword".

Keywords are chosen from the Keywords menu which contains all major keywords. Most keywords have sub-categories, the indicator that a popup menu can be invoked is: Once an item has been selected the top-level menu panel for that item will be invoked: see Standard Keyword Top Level Menu Options. There is no limit to the number of different keyword manipulation windows that can be current at any time: for example you can edit concurrently as many PARTs as you like.

Keywords present in the Ansys LS-DYNA manual but not in PRIMER 's Keyword panel cannot be viewed or edited in PRIMER . However, they are read in, stored within PRIMER and written out, so no valid Ansys LS-DYNA data is lost. Further, the implications of actions such as renumbering or deleting parts of a model will be correctly applied to those "hidden" keywords.
