Scale factor curve ID: F(d). Scale factor as function of wear depth d.
The function is defined in form of the curve ID of an existing *DEFINE_CURVE. If left out, a scale factor of 1.0 is used.
-
Max wear distance/seq: If a positive value is specified, then LSPP computes the
number of REPETITIONS to reach this specified wear depth (per sequence) for the node with the largest wear from this expression:
sum[0,REPETITIONS]{wear_from_initial_contact_wear*F(d)} = max_wear_distance
-
Compute:
Option 1:
Total wear depth, d = sum[0,NCYC]{wear_from_initial_contact_wear*F(d)}.
Summation of wear displacment is performed in order of SEQ.
Option 2:
If a positive value is specified for "Max wear distance", then
Total wear depth, d = sum[0,REPETITIONS] {wear_from_initial_contact_wear*F(d)}.
-
Smooth: Smooth/modify the total wear depth by taking average from nodes used
in attached elements. Wear direction is unmodified. If the pre-smoothed wear
displacement is zero, then the direction is computed as the average of attached nodes.

Fringe:: Select component to fringe plot
-
Accept: Update the coordinates on *NODE. NCYC is set to a negative value
to prevent further moving of the nodes in LS-DYNA.
-
Done: Closes the interface.
