Table 2. Tensor Output
Keyword3 Keyword4 Description
TENS STRAIN Strain tensor (global)
STRESS Stress tensor (global)

Example

# von-Mises stress
/H3D/TRUSS/VONM
# Specific energy density results for only parts IDs 356 and 293.
/H3D/TRUSS/ENER
356 293

Comments

  1. The syntax /H3D/ELEM/Keyword3 is also valid.
  2. When PART IDs are listed after the /H3D/TRUSS line the specified results will only be output for those parts.
