Animation Output File (A-File)
The RunnameAnnn file is a binary file, containing both model and result data. It can be used to post-process results in HyperView.
File Creation
The RunnameAnnn files are created during a Radioss Engine run. These files are written under the name RunnameAnnn, with nnn being the output file number.
File Contents
The RunnameAnnn files contain node and element definitions, in addition to
the following results:
- Result
- Description
- Vector Data
- Velocities, displacements, accelerations, contact forces, internal forces, external forces, forces and moments for rigid bodies, rigid walls and sections, rotational velocities, fluid velocities (for incompressible fluid flow by BEM).
- Element Data
- Spring damage, density, energy, plastic strain, equivalent strain rate, failed layers, hourglass energy, pressure, stress tensor, temperature, thickness, von Mises stress, user law results.
- Nodal Mass
- Nodal mass results.
- Nodal Data
- Time step, mass variation, added inertia per node.
