Analysis type
An analysis type can now be defined in
FEMGEN. This requires the list of analysis types to be defined by the Interface
Programmer (in a new 'USERAN' routine). Routines 'USEREL' and 'USERIQ' can then be
partitioned such that the list of elements and/or properties that will appear in
FEMGEN is restricted to the items relevant to the current analysis type. This analysis
type is optional and an enquiry routine (UANTYP) is provided to retrieve the name
of the current analysis type.
By selecting the analysis type, the user will be able to filter on analysis information
(eg: element types). It can be specified either via environment variable FG_PRE_INT
(e.g. FG_PRE_INT='DIANA structural plane stress'), or by the FEMGEN command PROPERTY
FE-PROG interface [analysis-type].
The analysis type, if defined, is displayed in the monitor box. Abbreviated names
for the analysis type are shown in the menu; they are also used in the archive, history
and log files. If the analysis type is changed, then all element type attachments
are removed and all material/physical/load instances are deleted, after confirmation
by the user.
