Setup Altair Radioss to use PolyUMod
It is easy to set up Altair Radioss to use the PolyUMod© library. Just use the following 5 steps.
1. Install PolyUMod
Follow these instructions to install PolyUMod on a Windows or Linux computer.
2. Set the environment variable "RAD_USERLIB_LIBPATH"
On Windows computers the environment variable “RAD_USERLIB_LIBPATH” should be set to the following:
- C:\Program Files\PolymerFEM\PolyUMod\PolyUMod_Radioss
Check on your computer which of these directories that you have, and then set the environment variable to that path.
On Linux computers set the environment variable “RAD_USERLIB_LIBPATH” to the following:
- /opt/PolymerFEM/PolyUMod_Altair/PolyUMod_Radioss
Check on your computer which of these directories that you have, and set the environment variable to that path.
You may also have to set the environment variable ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH to the value 6200@server, where server is the host name of your Altair license server.
4. Setup the FE Model using Altair HyperMesh™
Setup /PROP/SOLID to use full integration point elements Isolid=17
Setup /PROP/SOLID to use large strain Lagrangian strains: Ismstr=10
Specify the PolyUMod material model using /MAT/USER01
5. Run your Radioss FE simulation!
That’s it!
