check13

Check and summarize initial penetration warnings.

The program helps to analyze initial penetrations of the different contact definitions. It also helps to visualize the nodes moved during initialization by LS-DYNA due to detected initial penetrations.

usage: check13 [options] message-file[s]

options:

-list list all warned penetrating nodes
-top ## list and output top ## values (default: ##=5)
-ptol ## list and output only penetrations > ##
-sid #,#,… check only SIDs #,#,…
-bucket show penetration buckets for each interface
-pid print property for penetrating node
-psum print property penetration summary
-rsort sort for remaining distance
default: sort for penetrating distance
-rtol ## list and output only penetrations that have
a remaining distance < ##
-timestep print contact timestep if available
-typ print contact type (eg: a3, 13, a13)
-typ -typ print contact type in keyword (eg: SINGLE_SURFACE)
-all list all contacts (even without any warnings)
(usefull with -timestep and -typ)
-g optional d3plot-file (needed for property info)
default: d3plot
-key create LS-DYNA keyword file "check13.key"
with beams of length of the penetrations -
can be loaded into LS-Post or Animator3
-ani create Animator3 session file for displaying nodes
-medina create Medina protocol files
-mnode node id for new node creation in Medina protocol
(default=9.999.999)
-version print version

Example:
% check13 -ptol=0.1 -a -key -si 13,21 mes00*
