Abaqus Cards
| Card | Description |
|---|---|
| *DISTRIBUTION ANGLE | Creates a *Distribution table for angles. Note: Can be referenced in
*Orientation.
A default angle must be provided, which will be used for elements without angle values. |
| *DISTRIBUTION DRAPE | Creates a *Distribution table for thickness and angle. Note: Contains both the
angle and thickness, but during export separate *Distribution keywords are
written.
Can be referenced by *Shell Section with composite ply information. A default angle and thickness must be provided, which will be used for elements without thickness and angle values. |
| *DISTRIBUTION OFFSET | Creates a *Distribution table for offset. The offset values define the offset
and thickness of elements. Note: Can be referenced by *Shell Section using the
thickness option.
A default offset must be provided, which will be used for elements without offset values. |
| *DISTRIBUTION ORIENTATION | Creates a *Distribution table for orientation. The orientation values define
the orientation of elements. Note: Can be referenced by *Orientaion.
A default orientation value must be provided, which will be used for elements without orientation values. |
| *DISTRIBUTION THICKNESS | Creates a *Distribution table for thickness. The thickness values define the
thickness of elements. Note:
Can be referenced by *Shell Section using the thickness option. A default thickness value must be provided, which will be used for elements without thickness values. |
| *SPECTRUM | Creates a *Spectrum table for *RESPONSE SPECTRUM ANALYSIS. This value can be
defined as a function of spectrum, frequency, and damping. Note: Can be referenced
by *RESPONSE SPECTRUM.
