The one Analysis
command allowed in each input file is used to set the FEA or MPM analysis type and optionally to set the default element type. This command should come at the beginning and before any command that needs to know if the analysis is FEA or MPM. Its format is:
Analysis (type),<(elem)>
where (type)
is the analysis type to do:
"Plain Strain"
for a 2D plane strain FEA analysis"Plane Stress"
for a 2D plane stress FEA analysis"Axisymmetric"
for an Axisymmetric FEA analysis"Plane Strain MPM"
for 2D plane strain dynamic MPM analysis"Plane Stress MPM"
for 2D plane stress dynamic MPM analysis"3D MPM"
for 3D dynamic MPM analysis"Axisymmetric MPM"
for axisymmetric MPM analysis"Plane Strain MPM+PS"
for 2D plane strain dynamic MPM analysis with particle spin [1]."Plane Stress MPM+PS"
for 2D plane stress dynamic MPM analysis with particle spin [1]."3D MPM+PS"
for 3D dynamic MPM analysis with particle spin. [1]"Axisymmetric MPM+PS"
for axisymmetric MPM analysis with particle spin. [1]The (elem)
parameter is an optional element type (see Element Command for details; the element can be specified in the Analysis
command or in a subsequent Element Command).
