The directional and non-directional body scoped result trackers available for Explicit Dynamics analyses are shown in the tables below. The Details view properties for each are shown.
Directional Results Trackers Scoped to Flexible or Rigid Bodies
The properties available in the Details view for Momentum, Total Mass Average Velocity, Contact Force, or External Force are described in the following table.
| Category | Fields/Options/Description |
|---|---|
| Scope |
Geometry – Select bodies. |
| Definition |
Type – Read only. Orientation – X, Y, or Z direction. Suppressed – Prior to solving, you can include or exclude the result from the analysis. The default is value is . |
| Results |
Minimum – Read-only indication of the minimum value of the result tracker type. Maximum – Read-only indication of the maximum value of the result tracker type. |
| Filter |
Type – Specify low-pass filtering opton. |
Note: Contact Force and External Force results trackers are not available for Euler bodies.
Non-Directional Results Trackers Scoped to Flexible or Rigid Bodies
The properties available in the Details view for Kinetic Energy, Internal Energy, Total Energy, Plastic Work, Hourglass Energy, or Contact Energy are described in the following table.
| Category | Fields/Options/Description |
|---|---|
| Scope |
Geometry – Select bodies. |
| Definition |
Type – Read only. Location Method – Select geometry or a user defined location (internal energy only). Coordinate System – Assigned to user defined location (internal energy only). X, Y, Z Coordinate – Position of the user defined location (internal energy only). Location – Select user defined location (internal energy only). Suppressed – Prior to solving, you can include or exclude the result from the analysis. The default is value is . |
| Results |
Minimum – Read-only indication of the minimum value of the result tracker type. Maximum – Read-only indication of the maximum value of the result tracker type. |
| Filter |
Type – Specify low-pass filtering option. |
Note: Internal Energy and Plastic Work results trackers will be zero for rigid bodies from a physics perspective.
