SET_SEGMENT dialog box (LS-DYNA)

Modeling Object
Name	Specifies the name of the modeling object.
Label	Specifies a unique numerical identifier for the modeling object.
Properties
Description	Lets you specify an optional description for the keyword.
Keyword Option
GENERAL	Specifies that the segment is used in general contact analysis, in which the contact regions are identified only after LS-DYNA computes their location. For example, in a crash analysis, select this option to specify surface contact properties. LS-DYNA then generates contact regions where physical contact may occur.
COLLECT	Lets you specify the segment ID.
Common Segment ID	Available if you select the COLLECT check box.Defines a common ID value for the segment. When you solve the solution, the software combines all segment sets that share this same ID.
Default Attributes (DA)
DA1DA2DA3****DA4	Sets the default values for the first through fourth segment attributes.
Input 4 attributes per segment (A1,…,A4)
Segment Card2	Available if you select the COLLECT check box only.Lets you define a SET_SEGMENT (card2) modeling object that you can use to define attributes for known contact regions.
Input 7 attributes per segment (E1,…,E7)
Generalized Segment Card2	Available if you select the GENERAL check box.Lets you define a SET_SEGMENT_GENERAL (card2) modeling object that you can use to define options for general contact segments (Card 2 for the GENERAL keyword option).
