MADYMO Coupling Manual Release 7.5

The second line should not be written to the screen and log ﬁle, and is misleading.

In the reprint ﬁle, there is only one termination line and it should read:

MADYMO TERMINATED NORMALLY.

Workaround: set the two end times identical to each other.

• When the initial time step of LS-DYNA is larger than that of MADYMO, the simulation

can get out of sync.

Workaround: specify a smaller initial timestep than the MADYMO timestep, by chang-

ing the value of DTINT under *CONTROL_TIMESTEP in the LS-DYNA input ﬁle.
