Automated Surface Skin Generation (ASSG). Generates non-structural surface skin elements used in stress and fatigue analysis. A value between 0 and 4 defines the method used to calculate element corner results on a solid element mesh surface. There are five options:
- 0 - Automated surface skin generation is disabled.
- 1 - Surface skin elements and results are generated on the solid element mesh surface. No changes are made to the connected solid element corner results.
- 2 - Surface skin elements and results are generated on the solid element mesh surface. Connected solid element corner stress and strain values are replaced with corresponding skin element values regardless of magnitude.
- 3 - Surface skin elements and results are generated on the solid element mesh surface. Connected solid element corner stress and strain values are replaced with corresponding skin element values if the magnitude of the skin element component is larger.
- 4 - Surface skin elements and results are generated on the solid element mesh surface. Connected solid element corner stress and strain values are averaged with corresponding skin element values.
The character variables: DISABLE, SURFACE, HYBRIDX, HYBRIDM, and HYBRIDA may be used in place of the numerical options 0 through 4.
