*TCUT
r1
r1: r*8: temperature cut off value
- Used in mechanical analyses to neglect temperatures higher than melting.
- Temperatures above r1 (oC), are clipped to the r1 value.
- This card can minimize excessive plasticity and improve convergence for mechanical analyses.
- Currently *TCUT is defined outside the *MATE block and the same value is used for all materials in the analysis.
