*OUTPUT FILES

 		Previous pageNext page

Purpose

To request output file types from SHEAR7. The output file options can vary between versions of SHEAR7.

Theory

Refer to SHEAR7 Data Specification for further information on this feature. For more information, refer to the Shear7 User Guide which is available for download from the Shear7 Support web page.

Keyword Format

A single line with all optional entries, specifying the extensions of the output files to be generated by SHEAR7:

[ANM=ANM Flag] [, SCR=SCR Flag] [, DMG=DMG Flag] [, FAT=FAT Flag] [, STR=STR Flag] [, OUT1=OUT1 Flag] [, OUT1_OUT2=OUT1_OUT2 Flag] [, CURV=CURV Flag] [, ZETA_HYST=ZETAHYST Flag] [, STH=STH Flag]

The flags can be either YES or NO to indicate whether the file is requested or not. The default for SCR Flag, DMG Flag, and OUT Flag is YES. The default for ANM Flag, FAT Flag, STR Flag, OUT1 Flag, OUT1_OUT2 Flag, CURV Flag, ZETAHYST Flag and STH Flag is NO.

Description

ANM File:

Flag to request MATLAB animation file (YES or NO). The default value is NO. SHEAR7 defines this line as “flag for MATLAB animation data output”. YES will correspond to a value of 1. NO will correspond to a value of 0.

SCR File:

Flag to request a debugging file (YES or NO). The default value is YES. SHEAR7 defines this line as “flag for generating *.scr file”. YES will correspond to a value of 1. NO will correspond to a value of 0.

DMG File:

Flag to request file listing the Rayleigh fatigue per year for all resonant mode numbers, at each node (YES or NO). The default value is YES. SHEAR7 defines this line as “flag for generating *.dmg file”. YES will correspond to a value of 1. NO will correspond to a value of 0.

FAT File:

Flag to request file containing the total response amplitude and phase angle for every node, for every response frequency (YES or NO). The default value is NO. SHEAR7 defines this line as “flag for generating *.fat file”. YES will correspond to a value of 1. NO will correspond to a value of 0.

STR File:

Flag to request file containing RMS stress for each participating resonant mode (YES or NO). The default value is NO. SHEAR7 defines this line as “flag for generating *.str file”. YES will correspond to a value of 1. NO will correspond to a value of 0.

OUT1 File:

Flag to request a file containing the lift coefficient, non-dimensional frequency, and reduced velocity in the power-in zones (YES or NO). The default value is NO.

OUT1_OUT2 File:

Flag to request the *.out1 file and an additional *.out2 file containing the lift coefficient, non-dimensional frequency, and reduced velocity in the power-in modes at each node of the structure (YES or NO). The default value is NO.

CURV File:

Select Yes if you would like Shear7 to generate the *.s7curv file. This file reports the peak curvature of each resonant mode for each node.

ZETA-HYST File:

Select Yes if you would like Shear7 to generate the .s7zeta-hyst file. This file reports the stick-slip damping ratio for a range of tensions and curvatures.

STH File:

Select Yes if you would like Shear7 to generate the stress time history output file, *.s7sth. The output is stress versus time for each node in the modeled structure. This information can be post-processed into a loading histogram, for inclusion in external fatigue calculations.
