STEADY STATE DETECTION

STEADY STATE DETECTION: Specify steady-state requirements for terminating a
quasi-static uni-directional simulation.
This option is used to define the con ditions that must be satisfie d to determine that steady state ha s been
reached. It must be used in conjunction with the
*
STEADY STATE CRITERIA option.

STEADY STATE CR ITERIA
Required parameters:
ELSET
Set this parameter equal tothe name of theelement setfor whichthis steady-state detection definition
is being applied.
SAMPLING
This param eter is used to specify the method used to sample all steady-state norm s associated with
this option. See “Steady-state detection,” Section 11.8.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual,
for more information regarding steady-state norm definitions.
Set SAMPLING=PLANE BY PLANE to calculate the steady-state norms as each plane of
elements crosses the exit plane. This method should be used only for non-Eulerian analyses with
uniform planes of elements sequentially passing the exit plane.
Set SAMPLING=UNIFORM to calculate the steady-state norm s at an interval defined by the
time required for material to flow through an element of average length. This interval is determined
at the beginning of the st ep and remains consta nt throughout the step. This m ethod shoul d be used
only for analyses with material flowing in and out of Eulerian boundary regions in the primary
direction.
Data line to d efine primary direction and cutting plane position:
First (and only) line:
1. First direction cosine of primary direction.
2. Second direction cosine of primary direction.
