Auto Constraint of Rotational DOF for Solid etc
Automatically
constrain the rotational DOF when elements without rotational DOF are
used.
Solid / Plane Strain / Axisymmetry Output Option
Set
the position of the elements for which the analysis results are calculated.
This result type is made available for solid elements: internal forces.
This result can be displayed as a contour plot
or as a table. Note that this result is only available for 3D solid elements
(not for axisymmetric or plain strain elements).
Force
This
option saves the member force in the output file.
Stress/Strain
Determine
the stress/strain results at various locations.
Center
Generate results only at the center of elements.
Center/Node
Generate
results at the center and nodes of all elements. Although it is possible
to draw more accurate contour results, a very long computational time
may be required for post processing.
Seepage
Determine
the seepage results (velocity/gradient) at various locations.
Center
Generate results only at the center of elements. Results, other than the center node, that are obtained either using "Extract Result" or directly from the post-works table will not be generated. Only nodal coordinate positions will be outputted.
Center/Node
Generate
results at the center and nodes of all elements. Although it is possible
to draw more accurate contour results, considerable computational time
will be taken for post processing. All results
that are obtained either using "Extract
Result" or directly from
the post-works table will be generated with corresponding
coordinates.
