ssopt

NonlinearOptions.ssopt(option='', par1='', par2='', par3='', par4='', par5='', **kwargs)

Defines a solution option for soil analysis.

Mechanical APDL Command: SSOPT

Parameters:

optionstr

Solution option to define:

• GEOSTATIC - Geostatic equilibrium step for soil analysis.

• CONSOLIDATION - Consolidation step for soil analysis.

• STOP - Stop condition for soil consolidation analysis.

• SFSW - Specific weight load.

par1str

Parameters for the specified Option.

par2str

Parameters for the specified Option.

par3str

Parameters for the specified Option.

par4str

Parameters for the specified Option.

par5str

Parameters for the specified Option.

Notes

Valid ParValues for Each Option * Option = GEOSTATIC - No parameter values required.

• Option = CONSOLIDATION - No parameter values required.

• Option = STOP - Par1 :

  • SSTATE – The steady-state solution threshold of incremental pore pressure in a step.

  • OFF – Deactivate steady-state solution check.

  Par2 :

  • Valid only when Par1 = SSTATE.

  • A positive value to define the maximum pore pressure increment in a step, or a negative value to define the percentage of incremental pore pressure in a step to maximum pore pressure in the solution.

• Option = SFSW - Par1, Par2, Par3 :

  • The specific weight load direction. ( Default : The -Y axis in the global coordinate system.)

  Par4 :

  • OFF – Ignore the specific bulk weight (default).

  • ON – Account for the specific bulk weight load.

  Par5 :

  • OFF – Ignores the fluid specific weight (default).

  • ON – Account for the fluid specific weight.

The ssopt command defines solution options for soil analysis ( antype,SOIL) only.
