List of Options

PRIMER's automated model build function supports a number of csv file options (tags), many of which are common across different build types barring DATABASE. The following tables list all such options along with their applicability:

Options specifiable in the top part of the csv file

Option	Meaning	Applicability
deftrans_string	User-defined string for *DEFINE_TRANSFORMATION title	PEDHEAD, PEDHEAD_ANGLE. Only applicable to GM and CASE master styles
depenetrate	Contact or part set used to depenetrate the impactor, as well as the depenetration method - X, XZ, or XZ	All
first_point_only	All *DEFINE_TRANSFORM definitions are written. However, only the first master model is written	PEDHEAD, PEDHEAD_ANGLE. Only applicable to GM master style
impactor	Impactor model	All
master_style	Can be default (0), GM style (1) or CASE style (2): Default style will generate one master model per loadcase in individual folders GM style will output all DEFINE_TRANSFORMATION definitions to one file. Individual aster models minus DEFINE_TRANSFORMATION will be written for each loadcase as in default style CASE style will output all data to one file. Information pertaining to each loadcase will be written under unique *CASE specifiers	PEDHEAD, PEDHEAD_ANGLE
model	Vehicle model	All
node_set_bspc	Generate a *BOUNDARY_SPC for the specified node set	All
offset	Provide an additional offset for the impactor to, for example, account for deployable hoods	PEDHEAD
orient	Specify the line of flight for the impactor	All except IHI
projection_method	Control the movement of the impactor - along global Z or back along the line of flight - in order to obtain target points	PEDHEAD
reporter	individual file	All
reporter_summary	summary file	All
rootdir	Output folder for master models	All
rootname	Master model name	All except CASE master style
transform_file	File that will store all *DEFINE_TRANSFORMATION definitions in case of GM master style, and all data in case of CASE master style	PEDHEAD, PEDHEAD_ANGLE. Only applicable to GM and CASE master styles
vertical	Activate auto-vertical angle positioning by specifying a chin shell set and degree of freedom - X, XZ, or XYZ	IHI
z	Constant Z for all loadcases	PEDLEG_LOWER

Options specifiable in loadcase rows

Option	Applicability
Directory	All
Zone	All except IHI and GENERAL types (other than GENERAL_TRANSLATE_PARAMETER)
X, Y	All
Z	All except PEDLEG_LOWER
Angle(s)	IHI, PEDHEAD_ANGLE, PEDLEG_UPPER, GENERAL_TRANSLATE_PARAMETER, GENERAL_TRANSLATE_ROTATE
Velocity	IHI, PEDLEG_UPPER, PEDLEG_UPPER2, all GENERAL types
Parameter name	PEDLEG_UPPER, PEDLEG_UPPER2
Parameter value	PEDLEG_UPPER, PEDLEG_UPPER2
