Field Contents SI Unit Example
Keyword3 Output types. 3  
Keyword4 Output types. 3  
Keyword5 Output types. 3  
part_IDN Optional list of part IDs for which results will be output.  

Comments

  1. The syntax /H3D/ELEM/Keyword3/Keyword4/Keyword5 is also valid.
  2. When PART IDs are listed after the /H3D/BEAM line, the specified results will only be output for those parts.
  3. The output types are outlined in the tables:
    Table 1. Scalar Output
    Keyword3 Keyword4 Keyword5 Description
    AMS     Elements using AMS timestep due to /DT/CSdT_AMS.
    DT     Element timestep.
    ENER     Specific energy density (internal energy divided by the element mass).
    EPSP NPT=I or ALL   Plastic strain. The integration point output NPT is only available for /PROP/TYPE18 (INT_BEAM).
    F1, F2, F3     Force in local coordinate system.
    F1
    Force in X direction
    F2
    Force in Y direction
    F3
    Force in Z direction
    FORC     All forces and moments in local coordinate system.

    F1, F2, F3, M11, M21, M31, M12, M22, M32
    M11, M21, M31, M12, M22, M32     Moment in local coordinate system.
    M11

    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.
    = 1
    Active element.
    SIGX, SIGY, SIGZ, SIGXY, SIGYZ, SIGZX     Stress in specified direction.
    VONM     von Mises stress.
    FRACTION MARTENSITE NPT= i or ALL Martensite fraction.

    Only available for /MAT/LAW71 + /PROP/TYPE18 (INT_BEAM).
    TMAX Maximum martensite phase fraction over time and over integration points.

    Only available for /MAT/LAW71 + /PROP/TYPE18 (INT_BEAM).
    Table 2. Tensor Output
    Keyword3 Keyword4 Keyword5 Description
    TENS STRESS NPT= i or ALL Stress tensor for /PROP/TYPE18 (INT_BEAM).

    (component XX, XY, ZX in elementary coordinate system)
    STRAIN NPT= i or ALL Strain tensor for /PROP/TYPE18 (INT_BEAM).

    (component XX, XY, ZX in elementary coordinate system)
    MAX Maximum strain over all integration point (per element) max of each component XX, XY, ZX.
    TMAX Maximum strain over all integration points and over time (per element) max of each component XX, XY, ZX.
  4. The output location in Keyword4 can be defined via:

    NPT = integration points

  5. Output can be requested for a specific location number (I), ALL. The output locations are separated by a forward slash (/) and can be in any order.
