Diana-9.2 Users Manual Release Notes

Chapter 1

Analysis Capabilities
1.1
1.1.1

Input Data File

Named Data Sets

An optional input data item NAME has been added to the input syntax for tables MATERI, GEOMET, DATA. This new data item allows a name (text string) to be given to each set of data in these tables. This name is primarily used for communication with external pre- and postprocessors. See Volume Material Library and Volume Element Library for more information.

1.2
1.2.1

Element Library
T15SH Element Area Integration Scheme

The T15SH curved shell element has been extended with the possibility to apply a 22 element area integration scheme normally applied in quadrilaterals. With this integration scheme, the T15SH element behaves as a Q20SH element of which nodes 1 and 4 coincide. Depending on the application, the new integration scheme leads to improved analysis results. For more information, see Volume Element Library.

1.2.2

L4HT Cooling Pipe Start Node Number

The L4HT cooling pipe ow element is extended with the STRTNO input option dening the node where the uid enters the pipe element. This option facilitates the modelling of a complete cooling pipe using several elements that are sequentially connected. It is no longer necessary to input these sequentially. For more information, see Volume Element Library.

February 12, 2007 Draft ed.

Analysis Capabilities

1.2.3

FluidStructure Interface Pressure Support

In solving the structural domain of a uidstructure interaction analysis, the pressure degrees of freedom of the uidstructure interface elements are now suppressed automatically. Therefore, these degrees of freedom no longer need to be suppressed via input table SUPPOR. For more information, see Pressure supports in Volume Element Library.

1.3
1.3.1

Material Library
Pressure Loading in Time and Space

With an input format analogous to the TEMPER, CONCEN and MATURI tables, a PRESSU table has been added. The PRESSU table enables the specication of a pressure load and pressure ambient variable in time and space. This is an alternative for the specication of a pressure load with input item PRESSU in subtable ELEMEN of table LOADS in combination with a timeload diagram in table TIMELO".

1.3.2

Jardine Elastoplasticity

The Jardine model for elastoplasticity has become available. This model can be combined with Tresca plasticity. It is particularly suited for clay-like materials. See Volume Material Library for more information. An application of the Jardine model is presented in the new analysis example Pit Excavation in 3D in Volume Geotechnical Analysis.

1.3.3

Smeared Crack Model Ambient Dependency

In the specication of the tension softening properties of the Smeared Crack model depending on ambient inuences, now also the fracture energy Gf can be specied as a function of temperature, concentration, and maturity. For more information, see Smeared Cracking, Tension Softening in Volume Material Library.

1.3.4

Total Strain Crack Model Ambient Dependency

The crack models based on Total Strain can now be used in combination with thermal or concentration expansion. Ambient dependency of the tension parameters ft and GI f , the compression parameter fc and the shear retention parameter has been added. These dependencies on ambient variables (temperature, concentration, maturity, and pressure) may either be specied through diagrams for dependency on a single ambient value, or through user-supplied subroutines for simultaneous dependencies on multiple ambient values. See Volume Material Library.

February 12, 2007 Draft ed.

Diana-9.2 Users Manual Release Notes

1.3 Material Library

1.3.5

Total Strain Crack Model Tension Softening

The tension softening properties of the Total Strain Crack model now can also be specied in terms of the ultimate strain cr u . For more information, see Total Strain Crack Models, Tensile Behavior in Volume Material Library.

1.3.6

MontiNuti Plasticity

The MontiNuti model is a special plasticity model for the cyclic behavior of steel. It is is available for embedded reinforcements. The model can be combined with four dierent hardening types: kinematic hardening, isotropic hardening, mixed kinematic and isotropic hardening, and memory hardening. For more information, see MontiNuti Plasticity in Volume Material Library.

1.3.7

Time Dependent Diusion Coecient of Concrete

In a potential ow analysis, for isotropic conductivity, now an additional time dependency may be specied to simulate a time dependent diusion coecient of concrete. For more information, see the DIFPOW input item in Volume Material Library.

1.3.8

Convection and Radiation in Potential Flow

For boundary elements in a potential ow model, the formulation of the convection has been enhanced with a convective power parameter. See the CONPOW input item in Volume Material Library. For boundary elements in heat ow analysis Diana now also oers a radiative type of discharge via the EMISSI input item. If both convective and radiative discharge properties have been dened, it is possible to specify which of the two types of discharge should be applied in the analysis. For more information, see the FLUXTY input item in Volume Material Library

1.3.9

Modied Maekawa Concrete Model

The Modied Maekawa Concrete model is now also available for axisymmetric and plane strain elements. The model has also been extended with the crackreclosing option (RECLOS) for smooth closing of cracks in the transition from the tensile to the compressive regime. Moreover, a user-dened correction factor for the plastic evolution (BFAC) has been added to the input data. The Modied Maekawa model is also extended such that it can be used with variable shear-retention functions in which the shear-retention can be dened as function of crack-normal-strain and/or crack-shear-strain. See the SHRCRV input item with MULTLN and BEDIAG. There are also two new shear-transfer functions based on Contact Density. See the SHRCRV input item with MAESHR and MAEDEC. Alternatively, the shear behavior can be modeled via a user-supplied subroutine USRSHR.
Diana-9.2 Users Manual Release Notes February 12, 2007 Draft ed.

Analysis Capabilities

1.3.10

HardinDrnevich & RambergOsgood Soil Models

The HardinDrnevich and RambergOsgood soil models have become available. Both are elastic models with a nonlinear shear stressshear strain relationship. These models may be applied in a nonlinear analysis with Module nonlin. For more information, see Simple Soil Models in Volume Material Library.

1.3.11

Position Dependency of Material Properties

The properties for linear elasticity, MohrCoulomb plasticity, and Coulomb friction can now be specied depending an their position in space. A typical application is soil where the properties may vary with the depth in the soil layer. For more information, see Position Dependency in Volume Material Library.

1.4
1.4.1

Analysis Procedures
Automatic Tying of Loose Elements

The automatic tying feature of loose elements has been enhanced. Now, instead of a single master element, multiple beam or shell master elements can be specied which must automatically be tied to the slave elements. Elements that are not of the beam or shell type are skipped. For more information, see Automatic Tying, Loose Elements in Volume Analysis Procedures.

1.4.2

Spectral Response Analysis

The spectral response analysis procedure has been extended with an input option dening the working direction. Previously, the base acceleration was applied in all directions at once. The working direction is specied using the DIRECT option of the EXECUT command. Further, several output items have been added, and in addition to the SRSS summation rule, now also the ABS rule is accepted. For more information on the background theory of the new implementation and on the application of the new functionality, see Volume Analysis Procedures.

1.4.3

Automatic Load and Time Increments

The down-stepping factor for automatic load and time increments in a nonlinear analysis is now user denable, see the parameter CUTBCK in Volume Analysis Procedures. The default value is 0.25, which is equal to the xed value in Diana-9.

1.4.4

Stability Analysis of Reinforced Structures

Handling of reinforcements in stability analysis has been adapted. As a result, the analysis results have improved.
February 12, 2007 Draft ed. Diana-9.2 Users Manual Release Notes

1.5 Application Modules

1.4.5

Direct Solution Procedure

The out-of-core direct solution procedure has been reimplemented to improve its performance. Now, ordering is applied implicitly without any customization being required. For more information about the solution procedure, see chapter Solve System of Equations in Volume Analysis Procedures.

1.4.6

Eigenvalue Analysis Solver

The eigenvalue analysis solver is now based on the robust Restarted Arnoldi method, as available in the ARPACK software library. The Subspace Iteration method and the Lanczos method have been removed. See chapter Eigenvalue Analysis in Volume Analysis Procedures for more information on how the new eigenvalue analysis solver should be applied.

1.4.7

Output for FX+

The output capabilities of Diana are enhanced with output for FX+. Using the FXPLUS device option on OUTPUT provides the user with a Post-Neutral le for FX+. For more information on generating FX+ output, see Volume Analysis Procedures. For more information on using FX+ and the Mesh Editor for pre- and postprocessing purposes based on the Post-Neutral le for FX+, see Chapter 2.

1.4.8

User-supplied Subroutines

A new subroutine INVMTX has been added to the programmers service libraries for user-supplied subroutines. This subroutine calculates the inverse of a matrix by a partial pivoting algorithm. For more information see Appendix A of Volume Analysis Procedures.

1.5
1.5.1

Application Modules
Input of FX+ and Nastran

The input Module now is compatible with the .fxd Pre-Neutral le format generated by FX+. For more information see the new Volume FX+ for DIANA. Further, the capabilities with respect to reading the Nastran format have been improved and extended. The most important addition is the possibility to convert models for heat ow analysis. Moreover, the Nastran free-format can now be converted. For more information see Volume Application Modules. With respect to reading data les, the error handling has improved, as a result of which input errors can be reported to the user at an earlier stage.

Pre- and Postprocessing

2.1 The Mesh Editor

The Mesh Editor functionality has been extended considerably. The major changes compared to Diana-9 are described below. Input Now, the model data can be also imported from the Filos le. Further, the Mesh Editor is compatible with the .fxd format generated by FX+. Editing The material, geometry, and data properties can be edited. Further, these properties can be imported from a library included in the distribution, or from one created by the user. The load combinations can be edited as well. Further, groups not used for the specication of the nite element model can be created, edited and deleted. This functionality can be useful for visualisation and output purposes. Performance All editing actions can be undone using Undo/Redo functionality. Further, the Diana analysis can be started directly from the Mesh Editor, with the model information being passed on. The analysis working directory and the output directory are congurable. Graphics Now all items of a Diana model are viewable. New items are, for instance, initial elds, ambient time dependencies and boundary loads. Further, the model nodes and elements can now be labelled based on the group they belong to. The rendering can be combined with the rendering of other model parts, such as tyings. The rendering of higher order elements has been improved.

Pre- and Postprocessing

2.2

Analysis Setup

Now, the complete analysis can be set up through the graphical user interface. It is no longer needed to set up the analysis through command les. Further, all dierent analysis steps can be tuned. Previously, this was possible for the last step added only. The dierent steps can be named by the user. Further, the steps can be copied, deleted, and moved, both on an individual basis, or selected as part of a group. Finally, now a complete overview of the dierent analysis steps is given, including the history.

2.3

FX+ for DIANA

Diana-9.2 is fully compatible with the FX+ pre- and postprocessor. Apart from the benets of FX+ itself, the combination of Diana with FX+ provides the user with the possibility to perform the pre- and postprocessing with FX+ on a MS Windows platform, while the computational analysis using Diana is performed on a Linux/Unix platform. For more information see the new Volume FX+ for DIANA.

3.1.4

Geotechnical Analysis

Some instructive examples have been added to Volume Geotechnical Analysis :

X Failure of a Geotextile-Reinforced Embankment describes a nonlinear stress analysis of an embankment on soft soil. X Consolidation of an Embankment on Soft Subsoil is about phased coupled owstress analysis of an embankment on peat and silt. X Consolidation of an Embankment on Clay is about phased coupled ow stress analysis of an embankment on clay. X Pit Excavation in 3D describes a full three-dimensional phased nonlinear stress analysis of an excavation pit. X Liquefaction of Earth Dam is an ancient example, formerly described in the Diana-7 Users Manual. It has now been completely redesigned to conform the iDiana pre- and postprocessing capabilities.

3.2

Distribution Formats

The standard Diana-9.2 distribution comes with the Users Manual in HTML and Portable Document Format (PDF). Available on request are manuals in printed book form and in PostScript format.

3.2.1

HTML for On-line Access

The HTML format is still the most popular format for hypertext documents. To access the HTML pages you need a browser program, for instance Microsoft Internet Explorer in a Windows environment. With a browser you have easy, on-line and interactive access to the complete Users Manual. This format is also accessed automatically via some Help functions of the iDiana Graphical User Interface. As the HTML format is less suited for printing on paper we recommend the PDF and PostScript formats for that, or you could purchase the manuals in book form.

3.2.2

Portable Document Format

This format is particularly useful to printout or display parts of the manual in the nicely typeset book style. The Acrobat Reader program by Adobe Systems Inc. provides for a convenient access to the PDF format. You may download this program free of charge from the Adobe web-site at http://www.adobe.com. To properly view the Diana Users Manual we advise Acrobat Reader 7.0 or later.

3.2.3

Books

The book form is still the most convenient one for reading of extensive portions of text, particularly if these contain many mathematical formulae.

3.2.4

PostScript

Particularly in unix environments the PostScript format for documents is an alternative to the PDF format. Most high-end oce printers directly accept this format for printing on paper. The GhostView utility, distributed by the Free Software Foundation, is a much-used reader for documents in PostScript format.

3.3

Compatibility

This edition of the Diana-9.2 manual is compatible with release 9.2 of the Diana code.

Incompatibilities
4.1 Batch Commands

File conversion. A utility program d92com comes with the 9.2 release which may help you to convert command les from Diana-9 to Diana-9.2. The d92com program works like a UNIX lter: it reads an old Diana-9 command le from the standard input and writes the new le to the standard output. With le redirection the UNIX command looks like: d92com < old.com > new.com We advise you to look carefully at the messages on the standard error le, to see if any commands could not be converted properly. In that case you should manually edit the new le to get correct commands.

4.2
4.2.1

Element Library
Generalized Moments and Forces

The option to output generalized moments and forces for solid brick elements in a single layer is no longer available. Therefore, the input data item GSTRES in table DATA is no longer accepted. The possibilities of the GSTRES option are fully covered by the composed solids option [Vol. Element Library ].

4.2.2

Plane Strain Element Input

A load on the entire volume of a plane strain element, i.e., on the element face in the XY -plane, must now be input via a FACE data item. The VOLUME data item is no longer accepted. Consistently, the input of a load on the entire face of an innite plane strain element, i.e., on the line that represents the element in the XY -plane, must now be input via a LINE data item instead of a FACE data item.

Incompatibilities

4.2.3

Axisymmetric Element Input

A load on the entire volume of an axisymmetric solid ring element, i.e., on the element face in the XY -plane, must now be input via a FACE data item. The VOLUME data item is no longer accepted. Consistently, the input of a load on the entire face of a shell of revolution element, i.e., on the line that represents the element in the XY -plane, must now be input via a LINE data item instead of a FACE data item.

4.2.4

Flow Element Input

For two-dimensional and axisymmetric ow elements a load on the area, i.e., on the element face in the XY -plane, must now be input via a FACE data item. The VOLUME data item is no longer accepted. Consistently, the input of a load on the edge of these elements must now be input via an EDGE data item instead of a FACE data item.

4.3
4.3.1

Analysis Procedures
Temperature Unit Conversion Oset

The conversion oset from kelvin to degree Celsius has been corrected from 0 C = 273 K to 0 C = 273.15 K. This may yield slightly dierent results if the unit for temperature is explicitly specied in table UNITS.

4.3.2

Direct Solution Procedure

Due to implicit ordering in the new direct solution procedure, the ORDER command is no longer accepted. For more information, see chapter Solve System of Equations in Volume Analysis Procedures.

4.3.3

Solution Procedure Accuracy

The tolerance setting for the solution procedure accuracy now not only applies to the iterative procedure, but also to the automatically chosen solution method. Therefore the TOLERA parameter now has to be inserted directly in the SOLVE command block instead of in the ITERAT command block.

4.3.4

Eigenvalue Analysis Solver

Since the Subspace Iteration method and the Lanczos method have been removed, the commands associated with these eigenvalue analysis solver methods are no longer accepted.

4.3.5

Spectral Response Analysis

Due to the adaptations to the Spectral Response analysis procedure, the command syntax of Module spectr has changed. Now, a working direction has to be specied using the DIRECT item. Further, the mode selection now is performed in the OUTPUT block together with the specication of the summation rule. The SUPERP type of the FORCE output item is no longer available. The superposed maximum forces as computed in Diana-9 now can be obtained using FORCE RESIDU, using the SRSS summation rule. For a description of the new syntax, see Volume Analysis Procedures. With the help of the d92com utility, the Diana-9 syntax can be converted to that of Diana-9.2. The syntax conversion is illustrated below. 9

Incompatibilities

4.3.6

User-supplied Subroutines

Some changes have been made to the programmers service libraries for usersupplied subroutines. The subroutines INVSYM to invert a symmetric matrix and DETSYM to calculate the determinant of a symmetric matrix are no longer available. Their functionality is now fully covered by the new subroutine INVMTX.

4.4
4.4.1

Application Modules
Input

Due to the more stringent character of the new input Module, unocial syntax is no longer accepted. Due to the extended error checking, the module performance may be less than before.

4.4.2

Mesh

The obsolete mesh generation Module mesh in Diana batch mode is no longer available. For mesh generation, users are requested to use the iDiana Design environment or the new pre- and postprocessor FX+. Alternatively, users can utilize the Nastran input option of the Mesh Editor.
