*FMAXCONT
Data format:
An arbitrary number of lines with 7 parameters each :
IGR1 IGR2 NODE ISBEG TBEG TTEN IAC
Purpose :
To impose a target tension at a given node of a cable through Pipe-In-Pipe (PIP) contact or pipe to surface contact.
Restriction :
Groups and node must have been previoulsy defined. A contact between the two groups IGR1 and IGR2 must have been previously defined.
Details :
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| IGR1 | Group number representing the cable |
| IGR2 | Group number representing the pipe in which the cable slides |
| NODE | Node number belonging to the cable used to check the tension |
| ISBEG | Step at which the functionality is activated. If (ISBEG <= 0) the functionality is not activated in static |
| TBEG | Time at which the functionality is activated in dynamic. Not used if already activated in static |
| TTEN | Target tension (N) to be compared to node tension |
| IAC | IAC = 0 : the functionality is activated IAC = -1: the functionality is deactivated |
Note
This specific functionality modifies an existing PIP or pipe to surface contact. When activated, the contact adapt the axial force (similar to the axial friction force) to obtain the desired target tension at a reference node of the cable in contact with a pipe.
