EDSP, Option, MIN, MAX, INC
Specifies small penetration checking for contact entities in an
explicit dynamic analysis.
OptionLabel identifying the option to be performed (no default).
ON | — | Turn small penetration checking on for specified contact entities. |
OFF | — | Turn small penetration checking off for specified contact entities. |
LIST | — | List current setting for penetration checking. |
MINMinimum contact entity number for which to turn on/off small penetration check (default = 1).
MAXMaximum contact entity number for which to turn on/off small
penetration check (defaults to MIN).
INCContact entity number increment (default = 1).
This command controls small penetration checking in an explicit dynamic
analysis. EDSP is applicable only to the following contact
types: STS, NTS, OSTS, TNTS, and TSTS. The penetration checking specified
by EDSP is similar to PENCHK on
the EDCONTACT command. However, EDSP controls
penetration checking for individual contact entities whereas PENCHK is
a global control that applies to all defined contact (of the types mentioned
above). EDSP can be used in a new analysis, or in a small
restart (EDSTART,2).
Use the EDCLIST command to list the contact entity numbers for all defined contact.
This command is also valid in SOLUTION.
