TransientStateDetermination
Purpose
structure state determination under transient conditions
Synopsis
State = TransientStateDetermination (StifUpdt,Model,ElemData,State,Int_Constants)
Description
TRANSIENTSTATEDETERMINATION structure state determination under transient conditions STATE = TRANSIENTSTATEDETERMINATION (STIFUPDT,MODEL,ELEMDATA,STATE) the function updates the structure resisting force vector in STATE for the current state of the structure as described by the displacement vector and its increments as as well as by the history variables in STATE; the effective resisting force and tangent stiffness matrix depend on integration constants in cell array INT_CONSTANTS depending on the value of character variable STIFUPDT the function also updates the tangent stiffness matrix in STATE MODEL is a data structure with information about the structural model, ELEMDATA is a cell array with element properties
Cross-Reference Information
This function calls:
- Structure performs requested action on group of elements
- OneTransientIteration single equilibrium iteration under transient conditions
- TransientIncrement load incrementation and state advance under transient conditions
