Node Elimination dialog box
| Name-Description | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sets a unique name for the parameter. |
| Label | Sets a unique integer for the parameter.The dialog box automatically displays the next available label number. However, you might want to change this if you use a particular series of numbers to identify certain types of parameters. |
| Description | Sets a description for the parameter.This description appears in the Durability Simulation Objects dialog box only if you add the Description column to the list table. To do that, right-click the column heading row and choose Columns→Configure. In the Configure Columns dialog box, select the Description check box and then click OK. |
| Categorization | |
| Category | Sets the category name for this parameter. |
| Sub-Category | Sets the subcategory name for this parameter.The subcategory appears in the Durability Simulation Objects dialog box only if you add the Sub-Category column to the list table. |
| Properties | |
| Filter Width | Specifies the unit of measure for the specified values.Currently, the only option is (unitless). |
| Filter Width (n) | Sets the filter width values.The filter width values are related to the SN-curve of the material in such a way that the interval between the number of cycles corresponding to the static failure load and the endurance limit is equally divided on the log-log scale and varies from 1 (the static failure) to 0 (the endurance limit).Any hysteresis loop smaller than the filter width is filtered (discarded) from the analysis. For example, a filter width of 0 discards all hysteresis loops smaller than the endurance limit. A filter width of 1 discards all loops smaller than the static failure load.For more information, see Rainflow projector. |
| Elimination Safety Factor | Sets a factor that is applied to the damage elimination factor.Elements are eliminated in a filter run if the damage is smaller than the elimination threshold divided by the product of the damage elimination and the elimination safety factor.The larger the elimination safety factor, the fewer elements are eliminated.For more information, see Automatic thresholding. |
| Use Absolute Elimination | Lets you define the elimination threshold used in node elimination runs.If you clear this check box, the elimination threshold value is determined automatically from the elimination run as the maximum damage value.For more information, see Absolute thresholding. |
| Absolute Elimination Threshold | Available when the Use Absolute Elimination check box is selected.Sets the elimination threshold value. |
