Comments

  1. This keyword maps to /TFILE/4. The minimum time interval from all the *DATABASE_{OPTION} defined is used.
  2. The card controls only the frequency of the output. An additional card may need to be defined to specify which objects will be output. For example, number of nodes, elements, the definition of section force, and so forth.
