MADYMO Coupling Manual Release 7.5
Define a PART and MATERIAL (type 100) section for all surfaces to be received from MADY-
MO. The PART identifiers should match to the first value of the accompanying EXTERNAL_-
DATA value in the MADYMO input deck. Note that PART and MATERIAL cards can be
re-used. For further details, please refer to the PART SECTION and MATERIALS SECTION in
the PAM CRASH/SAFE manual.
Input Example Basic Coupling
The following two examples are parts of a MADYMO input deck for Basic Coupling.
Body Coupling Example
<COUPLING>
<COUPLING_BODY
BODY = "/Vehicle/HUB"
EXTERNAL_REF = "10"
EXTERNAL_DATA = "30729"/>
</COUPLING>
The following is part of a PAM CRASH/SAFE input deck for Basic Coupling:
NODE / 30729 2.7479956 0.3514169 0.82089777 0
SHELL / 30023 143 30720 30721 30729 30728 3 0.0
SHELL / 30024 143 30721 30722 30730 30729 3 0.0
SHELL / 30031 143 30728 30729 30737 30736 3 0.0
SHELL / 30032 143 30729 30730 30738 30737 3 0.0

Surface Coupling Example
<COUPLING>
<COUPLING_SURFACE
EXTERNAL_REF = "10"
SURFACE = "/1/1"
EXTERNAL_DATA = "1.0 3.0"/>
</COUPLING>
EXTERNAL_REF is ignored, although it is mandatory.
This will send data from surface /1/1 to PAM CRASH/SAFE. In PAM CRASH/SAFE one may
refer to this data using reference 1. The density of the mesh created for this surface is 3.
