4.7.1.2. Simulation Constants and Variables

4.7.1.2.1. Time

The Time function returns the current time. The start time is the value of Time Offset. To see more inFormation, Refer to Time Offset in Simulation Setting.

  • The Time Offset works when the keyword TIME is used for batch option.

  • Batch option is not changing the value of Time Offset of the model.

  • Example) RecurDyn.exe Sample.rdyn /rss Sample.rss /TIME 0.2

Format

TIME

Formulation

\(\text{TIME = current time}\)

Example

STEP(TIME, 1.0, 0.0, 4.0, 1.0)
IF(TIME-2.0:0,0,1)

4.7.1.2.2. STEPSIZE

The STEPSIZE function return the current stepsize.

Format

STEPSIZE

Formulation

\(\text{STEPSIZE = current stepsize}\)

Example

IF(STEPSIZE-1.e-3:0,0,1)

Format

ADELNRM

Formulation

\(\text{ADELNRM = Accumulated Total Norm}\)

Example

4.7.1.2.8. AINTF

The AINTF function return the Accumulated Total Number of Integration Failures (During the Newton-Rhapson Iterations, if the total norm of the current step is greater than that of the previous step, RecurDyn counts this case as the number of Integration Failure.)
