GET_RFLEX_NSTRAIN_3NREF

 

The GET_RFLEX_NSTRAIN_3NREF subroutine returns the nodal strain. GET_RFLEX_ NSTRAIN_3NREF is an auxiliary subroutine for MODAL_FORCE or MODAL_FORCE_EXT.

The difference between GET_RFLEX_NSTRAIN and GET_RFLEX_NSTRAIN_3NREF is the definition of output reference frame. The output reference frame of GET_RFLEX_NSTRAIN subroutine uses a marker. The output reference frame of GET_RFLEX_NSTRAIN_3NREF is defined 3 refernce nodes like Fig 1.

Variable Name

Description

ifbody

int

Sequential id of RFlex body defined in RecurDyn/Solver.

NodeSeqId

int

Node sequential id defined in RecurDyn/Solver. A node id should be converted to the node sequential id using the Get_rflex_nodeseqid auxiliary function.

fTopBot

int

If the RFI file has shell type element and all surface types (Top and Bottom) of the strain shapes, then this argument is reffered.

1: Top, 2: Bottom

refnode1

int

1st Reference Node Seq. ID

refnode2

int

2nd Reference Node Seq. ID

refnode3

int

3rd Reference Node Seq. ID

strain

double[11]

1~6th data : Strain tensor (Exx,Eyy,Ezz,Exy,Eyz,Ezx)

7~9th data : Principal strain

10th data : Intensity strain

11th data : Von-mises strain

Errflg

int

Error flag.

If the result of this argument is -1 (means TRUE in Fortran logical value), there’s no error. The others means there’s an error.
