# VAO_SURFACE_OUTPUT

Specifies a set of surfaces for integrated-surface output parameters for vibro-acoustics.

AcuSolve Command

## Syntax

VAO_SURFACE_OUTPUT("name") {parameters...}

User-given name.

## Parameters

coordinates or coord (array) [no default]
An array of sample points used to construct the surfaces defined by the partial_surfaces parameter. Each row contains a unique identification number and the x, y and z coordinates of a point in the global xyz coordinate system.
gap (real) >=0 [=0]
Tolerance for sample points falling outside of all elements.
shape (enumerated) [no default]
Shape of the surfaces in this set.
three_node_triangle or tria3
Three-node triangle.
partial_surfaces (array) [no default]
List of surfaces with no references to parent elements or element sets.
Quadrature rule used for volume integration.
full
reduced

## Description

This command specifies a set of surfaces for the surface-integrated vibro-acoustics output data. Surface geometry and integration rules are given here, while the related parameters are specified in the VAO_OUTPUT command. For example,
VAO_SURFACE_OUTPUT( "sample surfaces" ) {
}
