ONF

Within this section, remarks concerning ONF-format are summarized.

This life option is for the users who might want to use their own fatigue program. The only requirement is that the program writes in ONF-format. This format can be acquired by contacting Dassault Systèmes.

The following variables must also be set in your Tosca Structure configuration:


DRIVER
  driver.LifeSolver.Name = "<name_of_life_solver>"
  driver.LifeSolver.Path = "<path_to_life_executable>"
  driver.LifeSolver.StandardCallArgs = "<list_of_parameters_for_program>"
END_

The optimization run starts like the other fatigue codes with the solver run, which results are first read into the Tosca Structure database. Then the defined life-solver is called, and the ONF-results are then read by Tosca Structure.
