ESTATFORCE

I/O Options and Subcase Information Entry The ESTATFORCE command can be used in the I/O Options or Subcase Information sections to request electrostatic grid force and electrostatic resultant force output for all subcases or individual subcases respectively.

Format

ESTATFORCE (format,list,group,ESET=esetid) = option

Examples

ESTATFORCE(H3D) = ALL

ESTATFORCE(OPTI,COMP,ESET=34) = 4

Definition


Argument	Options	Description
`format`	<H3D, OPTI, blank> Default = blank	H3D Results are output in Hyper3D format (.h3d file). OPTI Results are output in ASCII formats including OptiStruct results format (.estatf and .estatresf file) and CSV format (_estatf.csv and _estatresf.csv file). blank Results are output in all active formats for which the result is available.
`group`	<PROP, COMP, OPROP, OCOMP, blank> 5 Default = blank	PROP Group electrostatic resultant force based on property ID is output. This output is available in addition to the electrostatic grid force output. COMP Group electrostatic resultant force based on HyperMesh component is output. This output is available in addition to the electrostatic grid force output. OPROP Only group electrostatic resultant force based on property ID is output. Electrostatic grid force is not output. OCOMP Only group electrostatic resultant force based on HyperMesh component is output. Electrostatic grid force is not output. blank Electrostatic resultant force is not output.
`setid`	<ALL,SID>	ALL Electrostatic grid force results are calculated considering contribution of all elements. SID If a set ID is given, electrostatic grid force results are calculated considering contribution of elements listed in that set.
`option`	<YES, ALL, NO, NONE, SID> Default = ALL	YES, ALL, blank Electrostatic grid force is output for all grids NO, NONE Electrostatic grid force and electrostatic resultant force are not output. SID If a set ID is given, electrostatic grid force is output only for grids listed in that set.

Comments

When an ESTATFORCE command is not present, electrostatic grid force or electrostatic resultant force is not output. Electrostatic resultant force is only supported for ASCII formats output.
Multiple formats are allowed on the same entry; these should be comma-separated. If no format is specified, this output control applies to all formats defined by OUTPUT or FORMAT commands for which the result is available. See Results Output by OptiStruct for information on which results are available in which formats.
Multiple instances of this card are allowed. If instances are conflicting, the last instance dominates.
Electrostatic grid force and electrostatic resultant force are only output for Electrostatic loadcases.
Only one group argument is allowed on the same entry.
The group argument is supported only for ASCII formats output. If there is a group argument in the entry and there is no OPTI format argument, OPTI format request is automatically turned on.
