Appendix 3: Non radial loading paths (2)

One can impose a priori the history, according to time, of the imposed forces multiplier (FMULT), and/or the imposed displacements multiplier (DMULT).

This is particularly useful for modelisations where the loading speed influences the result (viscous materials, the dynamics, etc.) and where the loading history is no more monotonous.

The multipliers FMULT and DMULT are saved on the file n° 33 (NAMDAT.LIC). The variable IPRES = 8, or IPRES = 18 (combined with NAMDAT.DEP), or IPRES = 28 (combined with NAMDAT.LOA), or IPRES = 38 (combined with NAMDAT.DEP and NAMDAT.LOA), orders the reading of the file (in LAMIN2).

The file n° 33 has a special format. Its structure is described hereafter :

1st group (2I5, 1G10.0)
NPAS Number of definition moments of the imposed values
IFOR = 1 if the format of the group 2.2. is read
= 0 if the format by default of the group 2.2. is used
Freq_lic= 0 for non cyclic values of the imposed multiplier
> 0 frequency of the change of multiplier(s)
< 0 abs(freq_lic)=period of the change of multiplier
if IFOR = 1 (A70)
FORMT Format of the group 2.2., in parentheses
ex. (2I5, G15.0)
2nd groups : NPAS groups of two set of results
2.1. 1st line of the group (G15.0)
TIME Definition moment of the multipliers. This moment is compared to the accumulated time, sum of the DELTAT given in the command file. A linear interpolation is realized if a computation step is situated between two definition moments.
2.2. 2nd line of the group (2G10.0 or FORMT)
FMULT imposed forces multiplier
DMULT imposed displacements multiplier
