EDALE, Option, --, AFAC, BFAC, --, DFAC, EFAC, START, END
Assigns mesh smoothing to explicit dynamic elements that
use the ALE formulation.
OptionLabel identifying the option to be performed:
ADD | — | Add smoothing controls (default). |
DELETE | — | Delete smoothing controls. |
LIST | — | List smoothing controls. |
--Unused field.
AFACSimple average smoothing weight factor (default = 0).
BFACVolume weighted smoothing weight factor (default = 0).
--Unused field.
DFACEquipotential smoothing weight factor (default = 0).
EFACEquilibrium smoothing weight factor (default = 0). EFAC is only applicable to PLANE162 elements.
STARTStart time for ALE smoothing (default = 0).
ENDEnd time for ALE smoothing (default = 1e20).
Mesh smoothing specified by the EDALE command is only applicable to PLANE162 and SOLID164 elements that are flagged
to use the ALE formulation (KEYOPT(5) = 1). To activate the ALE formulation,
you must specify at least one smoothing weight factor on this command
and the number of cycles between advection (NADV) on the EDGCALE command. See Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian
Formulation in the ANSYS LS-DYNA User's Guide for more information.
The EDALE command is also valid in PREP7.
