DEF_TYPE = SYSTEM

Selection Area


EL_GROUP	= `<name_of_element_group>`	Name of an element group in which the value of the design response is to be determined.
ND_GROUP	= `<name_of_node_group>`	Name of a node group in which the value of the design response is to be determined.
ELEM	= `<number_of_element>`	Number of an element to be used for the design response (alternative to `EL_GROUP`).
NODE	= `<number_of_node>`	Number of a node to be used for the design response (alternative to `ND_GROUP`).
CS_REF	= `<coordinate_system>` = CS_0	Default coordinate system is the global coordinate system `CS_0`. Can be used for displacements, internal forces, reaction forces,center of gravity and accelerations.
GROUP_OPER	Operator for determining the design response that is used within the selection area.
	= MAX	Maximum value of the selection area.
	= MIN	Minimum value of the selection area.
	= AVERAGE	Average value of the selection area.
	= SUM	Sum of all values of the selection area.
	= COUNT	Determines the number of values of the selection area.

Items for load case-Dependent Design Responses

LC_SET combines load cases to determine the value of the design response (can be specified several times). If the LC_SET option is not specified the default setting LC_SET = ALL, ALL, ALL is assumed. It is only available for DEF_TYPE=SYSTEM.

LC_SET = <approach>, <loadcase>, <substep>, <shell_layer>


`<approach>`		Approach / analysis type.
	ALL	All analysis types will be considered.
	STATIC	Static analysis.
	MODAL	Modal analysis.
	NONLINEAR	Nonlinear analysis.
	DAMAGE	Durability analysis.
`<loadcase>`		Load case.
	ALL	All load cases will be considered.
	`<no_of_load_case>`	Number of a specific load case.
`<substep>`		Substep.
	ALL	All substeps will be considered.
	`<no_of_substep>`	Number of a specific substep.
`<shell_layer>`		Location for calculation of shell stresses or strains.
	TOP	Top-layer of shell.
	MID	Mid-layer of shell (part of membrane).
	BOT	Bottom layer of shell.
	MAX	Max (`TOP,` `MID`, `BOT`).
	MIN	Min (`TOP`, `MID`, `BOT`).

Tip: For Abaqus users, substep refers to the increment of a nonlinear analysis. Substep does not refer to the load case number in an Abaqus step with multiple load cases.

Solver Defined Design Responses

The EMAG design responses are defined on the solver side. Tosca only requires the information from which file to get the sensitivity information from and how to identify the design response, but not which specific type the response is of. Because of the nature of this response it is normally not intended for manual definition.


FIELD_INPUT_FILE	= `<filename>`	Name of the file containing the sensitivity information for this design response provided by the solver.
FIELD_INPUT_TYPE	= `<string>`	Unique identification string for the design response, defined by the solver.
