9.2.2. Body Scoped Result Trackers for LS-DYNA

The directional and non-directional body scoped result trackers available for LS-DYNA 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, Contact Force, or External Force are described in the following table.

CategoryFields/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 No.

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:   Contact Force and External Force results trackers are not available for S-ALE 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, or Hourglass Energy are described in the following table.

CategoryFields/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 No.

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 results trackers will be zero for rigid bodies from a physics perspective.
