3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION
NIKE3D is a vectorized, fully implicit, three-dimensional, finite-element program for analyzing the finite-strain, static and dynamic response of inelastic solids, shells, and beams. Capabilities currently available include sliding interfaces, body force loads due to base acceleration, body force loads due to spinning (geometry dependent), concentrated nodal loads, pressure boundary conditions (geometry dependent), displacement boundary conditions, thermal stresses, plotfile generation, and problem restart.
