Optional parameters
- AMPLITUDE
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the amplitude curve that defines the magnitude of the flow during the step. If this parameter is omitted, the reference magnitude is applied immediately at the beginning of the step or linearly over the step, depending on the value assigned to the AMPLITUDE parameter on the STEP option (see Defining an analysis).
- OP
-
Set OP=MOD (default) for existing CFLOWs to remain, with this option modifying existing concentrated flows or defining additional concentrated flows.
Set OP=NEW if all existing CFLOWs applied to the model should be removed.
- PHANTOM
-
This parameter applies only to enriched elements in Abaqus/Standard.
Set PHANTOM=NODE to apply concentrated flows to a phantom node that is originally located coincident with the specified real node in an enriched element.
Set PHANTOM=EDGE to apply concentrated flows to a phantom node located at an element edge between the two specified real corner nodes in an enriched element.
Set PHANTOM=INCLUDED to indicate that the pore pressure applied to a phantom node located at an element edge will be interpolated automatically from the specified real corner nodes when the enriched element is cracked.
Data lines to define concentrated flow when the PHANTOM parameter is not used
- First line
Node number or node set label.
(Not used.)
Reference concentrated flow magnitude.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define concentrated flows.
