Many of the postprocessing keywords accept an integer value (typically denoted as Variable) which allows you to specify the parameter of interest, such as effective tension or bending moment. The relevant keywords are are follows:
$DATABASE POSTPROCESSING
•*RAO
$LOAD CASE
$SUMMARY POSTPROCESSING
The input parameter is known as a force variable, and the following Variable values are valid.
2.Local-y Shear
3.Local-z Shear
4.Torque
5.Local-y Moment
6.Local-z Moment
8.Resultant Bending Moment
9.Resultant Curvature
10.Resultant Shear
11.Axial Stress
14.Hoop Stress
15.Bend Radius
16.Local-y Curvature
17.Local-z Curvature
20.Axial Strain
21.Temperature
22.Pressure
23.Damper Power. Damper Elements are sometimes used to simulate power extraction. In this context, Flexcom provides post-processing options for damper power.
27.Equivalent Plastic Axial Strain
28.Equivalent Plastic Curvature
29.Plastic Resultant Curvature
