*Output Options
To specify the eigensolution details to be routed to the output file.
Refer to Additional Output and Repeat Runs for further information on this feature.
A block of four or more lines as follows:
[SET=Set Name]
[FACTOR=Scale Factor]
[Static Solution Flag]
The fourth and any subsequent lines may be in either of two formats:
List of Eigenpairs
or
GEN=Start Eigenpair, End Eigenpair [, Eigenpair Increment]
Set Name defaults to all elements (set ALL). Scale Factor defaults to 1.0. Static Solution Flag must be 0 if present. The list of eigenpairs can contain up to 20 eigenpair numbers. Eigenpair Increment defaults to 1.
Input: |
Description |
Eigenpairs: |
The eigenpairs to include in the output. You can either list these individually, separated by commas or spaces, or request a series of eigenpairs by inputting start and end numbers separated by a hyphen. Both specifications can be combined, as for example in: 1 3 6 10-15 Here details are requested of Eigenpairs 1, 3, 6 and 10 to 15 inclusive. Note that this entry is actually optional. If you invoke the Output Options - Specify facility but leave this row blank, then the output file contains details for all eigenpairs in the solution. |
Static Solution: |
This option is used to signal to Modes that you want details in the output file of the static solution used to determine the stiffness matrix K. The default is No, meaning there are no static solution details in the output file. See Note (b). |
Set Name: |
The set of elements for which output data is required. This input is optional, and defaults to all elements of your finite element model. See Note (c). |
Scale Factor for Stress Output: |
A scale factor to be applied to stresses output to the output file. This input is optional, and defaults to 1. See Note (d). |
(a)The use of this facility is optional. By default the output file contains only a data echo section and a summary list of natural frequencies. A table of maximum curvature for each mode will also be included if your analysis generated SHEAR7 output.
(b)You can request static solution details in a modal analysis. Obviously the static solution will have been performed by Flexcom.
(c)The element set you specify in Set Name row can be defined as part of your Modes input data, using the Define Element Sets table. Alternatively, it can have been previously defined as part of your Flexcom data.
(d)The Scale Factor for Stress Output scales stresses that are included in the static solution details if requested. Stresses are also included in the eigensolution details for individual eigenpairs if the Modes run generates SHEAR7 output, in which case the Scale Factor for Stress Output also multiplies the calculated stresses.
