EDDC, Option, Ctype, Cont, Targ
Deletes or deactivates/reactivates contact surface specifications
in an explicit dynamic analysis.
OptionOption to be performed for contact definition specified by Ctype, Cont,
and Targ.
DELE | — | Delete the specified contact definition (default); valid only in a new analysis. |
DACT | — | Deactivate the specified contact definition; valid only in a small restart. |
RACT | — | Reactivate the specified contact definition (which was previously deactivated); valid only in a small restart. |
CtypeContact behavior label (see EDCGEN command for valid labels).
ContComponent name or part number [EDPART] identifying the contact surface.
TargComponent name or part number [EDPART] identifying the target surface.
This command allows you to delete or deactivate/reactivate a particular
contact specification that was defined by EDCGEN. The contact
definition is identified by Ctype, Cont,
and Targ (Note that Cont and Targ may
not be required for Ctype = AG, SE, ASSC, ESS,
and SS). The delete option (Option = DELE) permanently
deletes the contact from the database. Any additional contact parameters defined
with the EDCMORE command for the contact definition identified
on this command will also be deleted or deactivated/reactivated.
You cannot delete contact specifications in an explicit dynamic small
restart (EDSTART,2). However, you can use Option =
DACT to deactivate a contact definition that is not needed in the small restart.
That contact definition may then be reactivated in a subsequent small restart
by using Option = RACT.
To delete or deactivate/reactivate all contact specifications for the
entire model, use EDDC,Option,ALL.
The EDDC command is not supported in an explicit dynamic full restart analysis (EDSTART,3). Thus, you cannot delete, deactivate, or reactivate contact specifications in a full restart that were defined in the previous analysis.
This command is also valid in SOLUTION.
