Adams Durability Environment Variables

The following are Adams Durability environment variables:
 
Variable name:
Variable value:
What it does:
DUR_HOTSPOT_LIMIT
Integer
Sets an upper limit on the number of hot spots to report. Default is 200.
Note: This environment variable is applicable only when you select the Adams Durability hot spot type as "threshold" but not "count".
DUR_MSR_MB_LIMIT
Real
Sets the maximum swap space (in megabytes) when performing a modal stress recovery (MSR). Default is 400 MB.
MDI_ADAMS_EQUALTIMES
keep (default) - Keep all time steps
first - Take the value of the first equal time step
last - Take the value of the last equal time step
Writing of DAC files can be problematic if multiple solutions exist at the same time. These extra (sometimes unwanted) time blocks are created when processing certain simulation commands.

This environment variable removes equal time steps.
MDI_DUR_DEFNODE
 
Recovers data for all nodes in the flexible body if no nodes or hot spots are specified in the FEMDATA statement.
MDI_DUR_LOADHEADER
 
Prints header information to the loadmap file.
MDI_DUR_LOADMAP
 
Generates an ASCII file that maps the loads from MBD to FE for DAC output only. The name of this file is <job_name>.map, where <job_name> is the name given on the FILE argument of the first FEMDATA statement.
MDI_DUR_LOADOFFSET
Integer
Creates a gap in the sequential naming of DAC channel numbers.

For example, without an offset set, DAC files start with the names:

job_name_001.dac
job_name_002.dac

If MDI_DUR_LOADOFFSET is set to 300, the DAC file names start with:

job_name_301.dac
job_name_302.dac
MSC_DUR_NUM_REPEATS
Integer
Specifies the required number of repeats to the RPC III file. Default is 0.
