1.2.3 Maturity in Time

You may specify time dependent maturity in elements or in nodes.

Element maturity in time    (syntax)


\begin{figure}\centering
\begin{tabbing}
\texttt{'MATURI'} \\
{[} \=\underline...
...g\ldots}\,\) \texttt{/}
\\ [.5ex]
\>\>\emph{maturity} \end{tabbing} \end{figure}


Nodal maturity in time    (syntax)


\begin{figure}\centering
\begin{tabbing}
\texttt{'MATURI'} \\
{[} \=\underline...
...g\ldots}\,\) \texttt{/}
\\ [.5ex]
\>\>\emph{maturity} \end{tabbing} \end{figure}


matvar
is a subtable name which specifies the type of the maturity variable M : DGRREA for degrees of reaction, EQUAGE for equivalent age.

ELEMEN
is an optional subtable name for element maturity.

NODES
is the subtable name for nodal maturity.

If you don't specify a subtable, DIANA assumes element maturity. [ELEMEN]

If you don't specify the type of the maturity variable then DIANA assumes specification of the maturity via degrees of reaction. [DGRREA]

elm
is a single element number or elms is a series of elements specified with numbers or groups or both.

node
is a single node number or nodes is a series of nodes specified with numbers or groups or both.

maturity
are the values of the maturity variable M (and $ \Delta$M ) at times t . Depending on the subtable heading these maturity values are either the degrees of reaction r or the equivalent ages teq . For more details on the definitions of the maturity variable see also the section on hydration heat in potential flow analysis [§12.5].
