TIMINT, Key, Lab
Turns on transient effects.
KeyTransient effects key:
OFF | — | No transient effects (static or steady-state). |
ON | — | Include transient (mass or inertia) effects. |
LabDegree of freedom label:
ALL | — | Apply this key to all appropriate labels (default). |
STRUC | — | Apply this key to structural DOFs. |
THERM | — | Apply this key to thermal DOFs. |
ELECT | — | Apply this key to electric DOFs. |
MAG | — | Apply this key to magnetic DOFs. |
FLUID | — | Apply this key to fluid DOFs. |
DIFFU | — | Apply this key to concentration of DOFs. |
Indicates whether this load step in a full transient analysis
should use time integration, that is, whether it includes transient
effects (e.g. structural inertia, thermal capacitance) or whether
it is a static (steady-state) load step for the indicated DOFs. Transient
initial conditions are introduced at the load step having Key = ON. Initial conditions are then determined from
the previous two substeps. Zero initial velocity and acceleration
are assumed if no previous substeps exist. See the Structural Analysis Guide, the Thermal Analysis Guide,
and the Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Analysis Guide for details.
This command is also valid in PREP7.
