Required parameters
- POSITION
- Set POSITION=AVERAGED AT NODES if the values being recovered are the averages of values
extrapolated to the nodes of the elements in the set. Since variables may be
discontinuous between elements with different properties, averaging occurs only
over those elements contributing to a node that have the same type with the
following priority (in descending order): solid, shell, beam, other element
types. Therefore, if solid and shell elements contribute to a node, results
averaged over solid elements overwrite the other results at the node.
Set POSITION=CENTROIDAL if values are being recovered at the centroid of the elements
(the centroid of the reference surface of a shell element, the midpoint between
the end nodes of a beam element).
Optional parameters
- ELSET
- Set this parameter equal to the name
of the element set for which the element results recovery should be enabled. If
this parameter is omitted, the modal recovery matrices are generated for all
elements in the
model.
Data lines
to define section point and tensor variables
- First line (optional)
-
-
Give a section point in the beam, shell, or layered solid at which tensor
components should be recovered. Generation of the recovery matrices is
supported for a single section point. If this data line is omitted, the
recovery matrices are generated for a default section point number 1.
- Second line
-
Give the identifying keys for the tensor variables. Tensors S and E are
supported.
