Output Control

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifSpecify the Output type/print option (element result print coordinate system) and for dynamic analysis, the time history to print. The node result and element results are set as default, depending on the analysis type, and the desired results in each result column can be selectively saved and printed, allowing efficient management of analysis result file size and print time etc.

 

Methodology

It is possible to print out every mesh set used in the analysis, or select only the main mesh set that needs result confirmation. Check the [Element Corner Results] option to output the calculated results for each element node on the element result directly. Uncheck this option to view the average output of each node. The checked result is the same as the legend results when viewed using contours.  

If the neutral plane result of shell element is needed, check the [Shell Mid-Plane Results] option.

For a beam element, the number of printed segments can be adjusted.

The results can be printed out at points 1(i, j), 2(i, 1/2, j), 3(i, 1/3, 2/3, j), 4(i, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, j).

The analyzed result are arranged as a separate text file in the folder in which the model is saved.
