PRIMER User manual Version 9.4, November 2009 APPENDIX I: Standard Object Names and Acronyms Inside PRIMER every class of object (nodes, parts, solids, etc...) has a standard "acronym" that is used when labelling items on the screen, and which can sometimes be needed when the user types in a specific object label. For example the acronym for a node is "N", thus node 27 will always be labelled as "N27". In addition, when PRIMER has more than one model in memory it is necessary to prefix the object label with its model number. The acronym for a model is "M", thus if node 27 exists in both models 1 and 3 the two labels will be respectively: M1/N27 M3/N27 (Model #1, Node #27) (Model #3, Node #27) You only have to remember these when using the Key in method of defining objects (section 6.2), and even then only when the object type is not implicit. For example to select node 10 in model #1 you will need to "key in": 10 N10 M1/N10 If both object type (NODE), and the model id (1) are preset. If object type is ambiguous, but model id is preset. If neither object type or model id are preset In most situations the <model> and <object type> are implicit: either because of the context of the operation, or because of prior selections, or because of "filter" settings, and only numbers are required. As well as acronyms every object has a "formal" name that is used when referring to it in error messages, diagnostic output, panel buttons, etc. This is the same as its LS-DYNA keyword where relevant, although PRIMER adds a few categories which are not found in LS-DYNA input. The complete list of object types, their standard acronyms and their formal names is: Object type Model Include File Airbag definition Standard Acronym M INC ABAG AINT ARDT ASRG Interaction Reference Geometry Shell Reference Geometry ALE Arbitrary Lagrange/Euler ALEX Multi-Material Group ALMM Reference System ALRC Curve Reference System ALRN Node Reference Syetem ALRS Switch FSI Switch MMG ALFS Boundary conditions (general) BNDY Prescribed Motion BPRM Spc BSPC Component COMP Gebod CGBD Hybrid III CHB3 Constrained (generic types) CNST Generalized Weld GWLD Interpolation ITRP Joint JNTC Page A.2 Formal name MODEL INCLUDE FILE AIRBAG AIRBAG_INTERACTION AIRBAG_REFERENCE AIRBAG_SHELL_REFERENCE ALE ALE_MULTI-MATERIAL_GROUP ALE_REFERENCE_SYSTEM_CURVE ALE_REFERENCE_SYSTEM_NODE ALE_REFERENCE_SYSTEM_SWITCH ALE_FSI_SWITCH_MMG BOUNDARY PRESCRIBED_MOTION SPC COMPONENT COMPONENT_GEBOD COMPONENT_HYBRIDIII CONSTRAINED GENERALIZED_WELD INTERPOLATION JOINT
