PARAM, IMPLOUT

Bulk Data Entry Incremental results of implicit nonlinear analysis using the Subcase Entry NLOUT.

Parameter Values Description
IMPLOUT <YES, NO, ONLY>
YES
Incremental results of implicit nonlinear analysis, if requested by the Subcase Entry NLOUT, are written into the primary H3D file after the run is completed.
Additionally, a separate H3D file (*_impl.h3d) is output dynamically during runtime.
NO (Default)
Incremental results of implicit nonlinear analysis, if requested using the Subcase Entry NLOUT, are only written into the primary H3D file after the run is completed.
ONLY
Only the *_impl.h3d file is output dynamically during runtime. The primary H3D file is not output.

Comments

  1. If IMPLOUT is set to YES or ONLY, and the Subcase Entry NLOUT is specified, then the separate *_impl.h3d file contains on-the-fly results during runtime. The following results are supported:
    • Translational and Rotational Displacements are generally supported.
    • Stresses (element, corner, and gauss), Strains (element, corner, gauss, thermal, plastic) are supported for first and second order solid elements and first order shell elements for both Small and Large Displacement Implicit Nonlinear Analysis.
    • All output listed in above are supported for second order shells for Small Displacement Implicit Nonlinear Analysis. However, on-the-fly elemental results are not output for second order shell elements for Large Displacement Implicit Nonlinear Analysis.
    • If MATS1 is present, then no elemental on-the-fly results are output for second order shells.
    • 1D CBAR/CBEAM/JOINTG elements are supported for both SMDISP and LGDISP for elemental stress and strain results.
    • Contact results are generally supported for both SMDISP, LGDISP and for N2S and S2S contact.
    • SPCFORCE is supported for both Small and Large Displacement Implicit Nonlinear Analysis.
  2. PARAM,IMPLOUT,YES is not required in the case resultspecific NLOUT is selected directly from the corresponding results cards (for example, if STRESS(NLOUT=<ID>) is specified). In such cases, the _impl.h3d results file is output for any output which is identified with results specific NLOUT request.
  3. Results are output on-the-fly in the *_impl.h3d file, if:
    • PARAM,IMPLOUT,YES/ONLY is defined in the model in conjunction with NLOUT Subcase/Bulk Data Entries; or,
    • Results specific output on-the-fly is activated using, for example, STRESS(NLOUT=<ID>).
