This operation specifies the function that outputs the results at a particular location in graph form for time variant analysis cases (Transient seepage, Consolidation, Fully-coupled stress-seepage analysis, Linear/nonlinear time history analysis, 2D Equivalent linear). Because printing the entire analysis results on the analysis tree is inefficient in terms of both usability and performance, the user can specify the desired location effectively and apply it to analysis. In other words, the history result search node must be registered before conducting analysis.

The following process can be performed to output the history result graphs for all time variant analysis methods. The printable history results include ground deformation, member force and seepage results.

1. Select the Probe type (Analysis > History > History Output Probes > Probe Type) and select the Object to check the result

<History result search and search type >

This feature can be specified for each search type and the detailed components are selected. For element results, the results can be output for the selected node center or for each node position. However, the middle nodes of higher order elements cannot output results. For the 'Displacement/Velocity/Acceleration' type, the results calculated at the [Reference Node] can be used to deduct relative results. In case of 'Transfer Function', it has always a relative result, the user must specify the [Reference Node].

[History step] specifies the step at which the results will be output. Select [All Output Step] to output results at all the time intervals, not just at the output time steps specified in the Analysis case. Specify the [Frequency] option when printing the results at analysis conducting step/time intervals. For an example analysis case with an analysis time increment as 0.1,0.2,0.3 sec... and an interim result output time as 0.3,0.6sec..., specifying 'Step : 2' outputs the results at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6sec... . Entering '0.2sec' in the 'Time' option can output the results at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6sec... .

※ Be careful not to reflect search types that are not printed in the Analysis case.
