Comments
- The RESULTANT
entry is applicable to different types of output, in conjunction with the
SECTION entry.
- Section forces and moments (STYPE=RESULT on SECTION entry). Currently these are output only in OPTI format.
- Heat flow across sections (STYPE=HEAT on SECTION entry). These are supported for both H3D and OPTI formats.
- Current flow across sections (STYPE=ELEC on SECTION entry). These are supported for both H3D and OPTI formats.
- There are two contexts in which section forces and moments can be calculated:
- User-defined sections (via the SECTION Bulk Data Entry)
- Internally generated sections (Pretension bolts)
- For section forces and moments, in case of transient analysis, OUTPUT, HGTRANS can be specified along with RESULTANT to obtain a session file (_tran.mvw file), that can be used for plotting the time histories in HyperGraph.
- Section resultant force and moment calculations are not available for transient subcases preloaded by a nonlinear static subcase, which may result in ERROR # 5837. In such cases, RESULTANT (OPTI) = NO should be used to disable their calculation and output.
- The support information for
RESULTANT for section force and resultants is:
- Analysis Type
- Details
- Linear Static Analysis
- Section forces and moments are available automatically if a section is created.
- Transient Analysis (Direct and Modal) and Frequency Response Analysis (Direct and Modal)
- Section forces and moments are available only if a section is created and the RESULTANT I/O Entry is used.
- The support information for
RESULTANT for heat flow across sections is:
- Analysis Type
- Details
- Linear and Nonlinear Steady-state Heat Transfer Analysis
- Heat flow output is automatically available if a SECTION (with STYPE=HEAT) is defined (RESULTANT is default).
- Linear and Nonlinear Transient Heat Transfer Analysis
- Heat flow output is available if both SECTION (with STYPE=HEAT) and RESULTANT entries are defined.
- The support information for
RESULTANT for current flow across sections is:
- Analysis Type
- Details
- Steady-state Electrical Analysis
- Current flow output is automatically available if a SECTION (with STYPE=HEAT) is defined (RESULTANT is default).
- Multi-steady Electrical Analysis
- Current flow output is available if both SECTION (with STYPE=ELEC) and RESULTANT entries are defined.
