| Result | Description |
|---|---|
| OptiStruct ACM Force Result | Force results table for ACM elements. |
File Format
The force information is provided, for each contributing element, in the following
format:
| Element_id | SUBCASE ID | MZ-A | MY-A | MZ-B | MY-B | FY | FZ | FX | MX |
- Data
- Description
- Element_id
- The element's ID to which the results apply.
- SUBCASE ID
- Subcase ID to which the following results apply. 1
- FX
- The x-translational component of the force or axial force.
- FY
- The y-translational component of the force or shear force in plane 1.
- FZ
- The z-translational component of the force or shear force in plane 2.
- MX
- The x-rotational component of the force.
- MZ-A
- Bending moment at end A, plane 1.
- MY-A
- Bending moment at end A, plane 2.
- MZ-B
- Bending moment at end B, plane 1.
- MY-B
- Bending moment at end B, plane 2.
Comments
- The output format of forces and
moments is identical to CBAR element:
