The user
can select the type of analysis output by clicking on the pull-down menu There
are two types of analysis output:
1.
LS-DYNA INPUT FILE
This function outputs the setup in LS-DYNA input deck.
2.
JOB SUBMITTER
This function outputs the setup in LS-DYNA input deck and submits simulation to Job Submitter illustrated in Figure 10.17.2. The user can manage the job in Job Submitter.
Figure 10.17.2 Job Submitter GUI
Note: If the calculation time set by the user
does not match with the defined termination time of curve, the program will
automatically pop up a prompt dialog box illustrated in Figure 10.17.3 to
ask if the user wants to reset the termination time. Clicking YES, the program
will automatically set termination time of tool motion curve as the calculation
termination time. Clicking NO, the program will not change the current
termination time.
Since the termination time is same as the one of tool motion curve, this dialog
box does not appear during normal setup. If the program pops up this dialog
box, the user has to check the correctness of setup process very carefully.

CONTROL PARAMETERS
Set the control parameters for running a stamping simulation using LS-DYNA. The user can edit the parameters by clicking on the Control Parameters button from the Analysis dialog box. The DYNA3D CONTROL PARAMETER dialog box illustrated in Figure 10.17.4 is displayed.
Figure 10.17.4 Control Parameters dialog box
TERMINATION TIME
Determine by duration of motion curve. The user may manually define termination time.
TIMESTEP (DT2MS)
Time step size for mass scaled solutions.Please refer to keyword *CONTROL_TIME_STEP described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
PARALLEL (NCPU)
Allow the user to define the number of processors used to perform stamping simulation. This function requires PCs equipped with multiple processors, a shared memory (parallel process) version of the LS-DYNA solver, and valid license. Please refer to keyword *CONTROL_PARELLEL described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
STATES IN D3PLOT (DPLTC)
This setting allows the user to define the number of evenly spaced frames of data, displayed and animated in eta/POST. Please refer to keyword *DATABASE_BINARY_D3PLOT described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
ADVANCED OPTIONS
HOURGLASS (IHQ)
Type of hourglass viscosity. Please refer to keyword *CONTROL_HOURGLASS described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
CONTACT (SLSFAC)
Scale factor for sliding interface penalties. Please refer to keyword *CONTROL_CONTACT described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
CONTACT (ISLCHK)
Initial penetration check in the contact surfaces. Please refer to keyword *CONTROL_CONTACT described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
CONTACT (SHLTHK)
Shell thickness considered in SURFACE-TO-SURFACE and NODE-TO-SURFACE contact options. Please refer to keyword *CONTROL_CONTACT described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
CONTACT (PENOPT)
Penalty stiffness value option. Please refer to keyword *CONTROL_CONTACT described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
TERMINATION (ENDMAS)
Percent change in the total mass for termination of calculation. Please refer to keyword *CONTROL_TERMINATION described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
INTEGRATION (MAXINT)
Number of shell integration points. Please refer to keyword *DATABASE_EXTENT_BINARY described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
OUTPUT TIMES (ENDTIM/DT)
Multiplier which determines cycle time, DT. Please refer to keyword *CONTROL_TERMINATION described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
ACCURACY STRESS (OSU)
Global flag for objective stress updates. Please refer to keyword * CONTROL_ACCURACY described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
ACURACY NODE (
Invariant node numbering for shell elements. Please refer to keyword *CONTROL_ACCURACY described in LS-DYNA Keyword User’s Manual.
EDIT:
Set up the output frequency for D3PLOT file. Clicking this button, the program
will pop up a Define D3plot Curve dialog box. Refer to Section 14.14.9 for
detailed description.
OK: Accept the control parameters.
DEFAULT: Reset all values to their default settings.
RESET: Restore to previously defined value.
ADVANCED: Display advanced control parameters.
CANCEL: Abort dialog box.
