Product: ABAQUS/Standard
The substructure library utilities *SUBSTRUCTURE COPY, *SUBSTRUCTURE DELETE, and *SUBSTRUCTURE DIRECTORY are tested. Substructure regeneration is tested in conjunction with the above options.
The hemispherical shell model used in “Substructure rotation, mirroring, transformation, and constraints,” Section 3.4.1, is used to test the *SUBSTRUCTURE COPY, *SUBSTRUCTURE DELETE, and *SUBSTRUCTURE DIRECTORY housekeeping options. The analysis is performed only at the third level of substructure; i.e., the analysis of half of a sphere. Library utilities are tested by moving and deleting the lower-level substructures from different libraries during the various stages of the generation. Regeneration of the substructure is also tested at the analysis stage. The *SUBSTRUCTURE DIRECTORY option is used to monitor the different libraries that are created.
You can combine the results of substructure analyses using the abaqus substructurecombine execution procedure. For more information, see “Execution procedure for combining output from substructures,” Section 3.2.17 of the ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual.
The results from the analysis match the results in the third-level analysis in “Substructure rotation, mirroring, transformation, and constraints,” Section 3.4.1.
Generates the first-level substructure.
Generates the second-level substructure after housekeeping.
Generates the third-level substructure after housekeeping.
Regenerates the third-level substructure referenced in the analysis psuphou4.inp.
Performs the actual analysis.
