SOL 401 vs 402 Comparison
SOL 402 vs SOL 401 Comparison General • SOL 401 can be used for multiphysics co-simulation • SOL 402 should be used to simulate nonlinear kinematic behavior Contact • In SOL 401, the OFFSET distance can be defined per contact region (BCRPARA bulk entry) • In SOL 402, the OFFSET distance is defined at the contact level (BCTPAR 2 entry). • In SOL 401, a contact with shells automatically take the half thicknesses of the shells into account. • In SOL 402, must manually take the half thicknesses of the shells into account with the OFFSET parameter for the Connection Property used for that Connection Unrestricted © Siemens AG 2018 Page 35 2018 -05 -08 Siemens PLM Software
SOL 402 vs SOL 401 Bolt Comparison SOL 401 • Bolts can only modeled with solid elements • You also cannot use CPYRAM and/or composite solids for a BOLT of the ETYPE=3 type. • Bolt loading sequence (BOLTSEQ) is allowed in SOL 401 • Initial strain bolt preload force is allowed in SOL 40 I SOL 402 • Bolts can be modeled using beams and solid elements • Bolts are activated for the whole subcase time interval. Unrestricted © Siemens AG 2018 Page 36 2018 -05 -08 Siemens PLM Software
SOL 402 vs SOL 401 SUBCASE Comparison In SOL 401, a NSD subcase (SEQDEP = NO) has a start time of zero. In addition, a non-sequentially dependent static or modal subcase does not use the displacement/stress/strain state from the previous static subcase. In SOL 402, a NSD subcase uses the final time from the previous subcase for its start time. But the computation state (stresses, state variables, and so on) can be reloaded from the end of any of the previous subcases through the RSUB parameter of the NLCNTL 2 bulk entry.
