This option is used to define properties for hydrostatic fluid elements associated with a given fluid cavity.
Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit
Type: Model data
Level: Part Part Instance
Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set containing the hydrostatic fluid elements for which properties are being defined.
Set this parameter equal to either the node number of the fluid cavity reference node or the name of a node set containing the fluid cavity reference node. If the name of a node set is chosen, the node set must contain exactly one node.
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analyses. ABAQUS/Explicit uses only pneumatic fluids to model the fluid within a cavity (see “Hydrostatic fluid models,” Section 20.4.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual, for more information).
Set TYPE=HYDRAULIC to specify an incompressible or approximately incompressible fluid.
Set TYPE=PNEUMATIC to specify a compressible fluid that behaves as an ideal gas.
Set TYPE=USER to specify a fluid in which the fluid constitutive model is defined in user subroutine UFLUID.
This parameter specifies the magnitude of the ambient pressure, which will typically be atmospheric pressure. It is relevant only for TYPE=PNEUMATIC. The default is AMBIENT=0.
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analyses.
Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to the fluid property. The label given can be used to identify the fluid property in user subroutine UFLUID.
First (and only) line:
Element thickness.
There are no data lines required.
No data lines are used with this option when TYPE=USER is specified. Instead, user subroutine UFLUID must be used to define the fluid model.
