Reference_set_data

 

Data Structure: Reference_set_data

Description

defining the data to be stored at a reference time

Usage

Reference_set_data     NUM=ival   where ival  is the data structure number

 

Description

Overview

Reference_set_data allows the state for the specified variables at a particular time to be stored and maintained throughout the solution. Both this state data and the difference between the current state and the reference state can be output to the plot file for visualisation. This can be useful, for example, in viewing the change in state from geostatic initialisation to the end of the simulation, or from before and after a kinematic event (e.g. change in porosity during a shortening event).

 

Notes

The reference state is taken when the Reference_set_data is encountered; e.g. if the state after geostatic initialisation is required the data should be specified after the geostatic stage.

More than one Reference_set_data may be defined.
