XYPEAK / XYPLOT / XYPUNCH
I/O Options EntryThe XYPEAK, XYPLOT, and XYPUNCH commands can be used in the I/O Options section to request output from a Random Response Analysis. The XYPUNCH command can also be used with the RESPONSE plot-type to request .pch file output from a Frequency Response Analysis.
Format
operation, curve-type, plot-type/entity ID(item code) list
Examples
XYPLOT, XYPEAK, VELO, PSDF / 3(T2), 6(T2)
XYPEAK, DISP, AUTO / 223(T3)
XYPEAK, XYPLOT, XYPUNCH, ACCE, PSDF / 8(T1), 9(T1), 8(T2), 9(T2)

Comments
- Unlike other output requests, XYPEAK, XYPLOT, and XYPUNCH may be combined on a single line (as shown in the Example above).
- If the XYPEAK, XYPLOT, or XYPUNCH commands are not supplied, no random response results will be output.
- If the XYPEAK, XYPLOT, or XYPUNCH commands are supplied, but with an incomplete definition, an error termination will occur.
- For complex results, the format of XYPUNCH output (Real/Imaginary or Phase/Magnitude) is determined by the relevant result output request (ACCELERATION, DISPLACEMENT, STRESS, STRAIN, FORCE or VELOCITY). Real/Imaginary is the default if not otherwise indicated.
- Multiple RANDOM Subcase Information Entries with non-unique IDs are allowed in a single model. Therefore, if the plot-type field is set to PSDF, the RANDOM ID will be added to the XYPUNCH headers in the corresponding result sections of the .pch file when multiple RANDOM entries are present in the same deck. If only one RANDOM entry is present, the RANDOM ID is not printed.
