Part Integrity vs Time Curves

Counts the number of deleted and plastic strained elements in a part.

Part Integrity vs Time Curves

Javascript which requests user to select parts, these parts will be blanked and all blanks part processed (see comment 2) as below.

The following curves will be produced in a <run_directory>/Curves folder for each part processed:

  • Number of deleted elements vs time
  • Number of elements > 5% plastic strain (see comment 1) vs time
  • Number of elements > 10% plastic strain (see comment 1) vs time
  • Number of elements > 15% plastic strain (see comment 1) vs time
  • Number of elements > 20% plastic strain (see comment 1) vs time
  • Number of elements > 25% plastic strain (see comment 1) vs time
  • Number of elements > 30% plastic strain (see comment 1) vs time

Comments:

  1. Range and increment of plastic strains reported can be adjusted using variables –  var eps_incr = 5; var eps_max = 30;
  2. Uses part blanking due to detect parts to process for compatibility of running via execution through a command file (TCF) but could be easily removed to only process selected parts which would speed it up.
  3. Only currently compatible with shell elements
