This page provides some options for an FFlex model. These options except the Automatic Outputs for Markers option affect simulation results.
Figure 1 Flexibility dialog box [FFlex]
•Core Option
•In Core: Uses only memory. Therefore, it gives the faster solution than the Out Of Core option if the available memory is enough. (This option is default.)
•Out Of Core: Allows that the linear solver can use the file to swap memory to solve the huge DOF case.
•Stress Recovery Type: Selects the recovery type of calculating stress and strain.
•Center: Recovers the stress and strain at the center of element.
•Extrapolation: Recovers the stress and strain at the element nodes by the extrapolation method. It is more accurate than the Center option. (This option is default.)
•Automatic Outputs for Markers
•If this option is checked, the Output of FFlex body is created automatically if an FFlex body has Markers. The nearest Node from the Marker is defined as the Output.
