The GridDepth
command sets element properties for the z direction in a 3D MPM background grid:
GridDepth (nz),<(symz)>,<(symzdir)>,<(symz2)>
where
(nz)
is the number of elements in the depth or z direction.(symz)
, (symzdir)
, and (symz2)
are optional settings used to define symmetry plane normal to the z axis.Some extra parameters and needed when creating a Tartan grid as document on the OSUPdocs wiki.
GridDepth
command is only allowed for 3D MPM analyses.
