Definition

Field Contents SI Unit Example
Keyword3 Output types. 3
Keyword4 Output types. 3
part_IDN Optional list of part IDs for which results will be output.

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.
  3. The scalar output is defined below.
    Table 1. Scalar Output
    Keyword3 Description
    AMS Elements using AMS timestep due to /DT/CST_AMS.
    DT Element timestep.
    ENER Specific energy density (internal energy divided by the element mass).
    EPSP Plastic strain.
    F1 Force in local coordinate system.
    F1
    Force in X direction
    FORC All forces and moments in local coordinate system.

    F1, F2, F3, M11, M21, M31, M12, M22, M32
    GROUP Internal group identifier
    MASS Element mass.
    OFF Element status.
    Where the result output is:
    = -1
    Element is not active (it is defined in an activated rigid body).
    = 0
    Deleted element.
    Between 0 and 1
    Under failure process.
    = 1
    Active element.
    SIGX Stress in specified direction.
    VONM von Mises stress.
