Description

Creates a report for FBD panel and FBD bar from panel and freebodysection entities respectively.

This queries the raw grid-point and element force data from result entities multiple subcases of the elements and nodes contained under the panel/freebodysection entities. It is then formalized and calculated with respect to local or elemental system to get the final FBD force values. A table is then created which contains the detailed panel/freebodysection entities, subcase details and FBD force values.

Inputs

report_type
The type of report to generate. Valid values are panel and bar.
entity_type
The type of entity for the report. For panel reports, this must be panels. For bar reports, this must be freebodysection.
mark_id
The ID of the mark containing the input panels or freebodysections. Valid values are 1 and 2.
subcase_ids
The subcase IDs to consider, as a comma separated string with each substring consisting of the result file ID, subcase ID and step ID. For example: {1_1_0,1_2_0, 2_1_0, 2_1_1}.
resultid=<value>
The ID of the result entity to use. This is a mandatory option.
envelope=<value>
0 - No envelope calculation (default)
1 - Envelope calculation
gpf=<value>
For panel reports only:
0 - Element forces (default)
1 - Grid-point forces
tolerance=<value>
The tolerance to limit the values for the table creation. Default is 0.00001.

Examples

Create an FBD panel report with element forces:
*createmark panels 1 1 2 3
*createfbdreport panel panels 1 {1_1_0,1_2_0,2_1_0,2_1_1} resultid=1
Create an FBD panel report with grid-point forces:
*createmark panels 1 1 2 3
*createfbdreport panel panels 1 {1_1_0,1_2_0,2_1_0,2_1_1} resultid=1 gpf=1
Create an FBD panel report with envelope:
*createmark panels 1 1 2 3
*createfbdreport panel panels 1 {1_1_0,1_2_0,2_1_0,2_1_1} resultid=1 gpf=1 envelope=1
Create an FBD bar report:
*createmark freebodysections 1 1 2 3
*createfbdreport bar freebodysections 1 {1_1_0,1_2_0,2_1_0,2_1_1} resultid=1
Create an FBD bar report with envelope:
*createmark freebodysections 1 1 2 3
*createfbdreport bar freebodysections 1 {1_1_0,1_2_0,2_1_0,2_1_1} resultid=1 envelope=1

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
