The Output
command is used to determine what FEA calculation results are in the output file. The format is
Output (prop1),(out1),<(prop2)>,<(out2)>,...
where the arguments are given in pairs: (prop1,out1)
, (prop2,out2)
, etc.. The first number gives a calculation result. The options are
"displacements"
to output nodal displacements."forces"
to output nodal forces calculated in each element."elementstresses"
to output all components of stress calculated in each element and surface tractions in each interface elements."nodalstresses"
to output average stresses at the nodal points."reactivities"
to output reaction forces at all nodes with fixed boundary conditions."energy"
to output strain energy of each element and the total strain energy.Each output option is followed by an option that determines what is included in the option file. The options are:
"yes"
means fully output the preceding option. Fully output means to output all nodal results and all element results."no"
means to completely omit the preceding option."selected"
means to only output result relevant to selected nodes. Nodes can be selected with any number of Select, SelectLine, and SelectPoint commands. If no nodes are selected, this mode will result in no output for that option.Output
command is present, the default output will be "yes"
for all options except "reactivities"
, which will be "no"
."reactivities"
and "energy"
options can only be "yes"
or "no"
; if "selected"
is used it will be treated like a "yes"
.Output
command is only allowed for FEA analyses.
