\numbers\ is a shell program which reads and stores data from a finite
|
|
element model described in the \exo\ database format. Within this shell
|
|
program are several utility routines which generate information about
|
|
the finite element model. The utilities currently implemented in
|
|
\numbers\ allow the analyst to determine information such as (1)~the
|
|
volume and coordinate limits of each of the materials in the model;
|
|
(2)~the mass properties of the model; (3)~the minimum, maximum, and
|
|
average element volumes for each material; (4)~the volume and change in
|
|
volume of a cavity; (5)~the nodes or elements that are within a
|
|
specified distance from a user-defined point, line, or plane; (6)~an
|
|
estimate of the explicit central-difference timestep for each material;
|
|
(7)~the validity of contact surfaces or slidelines, that is, whether two
|
|
surfaces overlap at any point; and (8)~the distance between two
|
|
surfaces.
