Comments

  1. The syntax /H3D/ELEM/Keyword3/Keyword4/Keyword5 is also valid.
  2. When PART IDs are listed after the /H3D/BEAM line, the specified results will only be output for those parts.
  3. The output types are outlined in the tables:
    Table 1. Scalar Output

    Where the result output is:
    = -1
    Element is not active (it is defined in an activated rigid body).
    = 0
    Deleted element.
    Between 1 and 0
    Under failure process.
    = 1
    Active element.
    SIGX, SIGY, SIGZ, SIGXY, SIGYZ, SIGZX     Stress in specified direction.

    (component XX, XY, ZX in elementary coordinate system)
    STRAIN NPT= i or ALL Strain tensor for /PROP/TYPE18 (INT_BEAM).

    (component XX, XY, ZX in elementary coordinate system)
    MAX Maximum strain over all integration point (per element) max of each component XX, XY, ZX.

  4. The output location in Keyword4 can be defined via:

    NPT = integration points

  5. Output can be requested for a specific location number (I), ALL. The output locations are separated by a forward slash (/) and can be in any order.
