Data export to OptiStruct
- Exports of time forces, generate a .fem file of force variation versus time at the nodes. Only real vector data collection, transient and multi-steps are compatible with these exports. The user should specify:
- The time interval to be exported. An error message appears if there is no data for one or several steps of a chosen interval for the data collection to be exported.
- Exports of force harmonics, generate a .fem file of force variation
versus frequency at the nodes. Only the collections of the FFT derived type
are compatible. The user should specify:
- The harmonics to be exported (either all harmonics, an interval or a list of harmonics).
- Exports of static forces, generate a .fem file of forces at the nodes
at current step. Only real vector data collections are compatible with these
exports.Note: In the framework of this export, with the option "Write vectors in compact mode" activated,the exported data are compacted in order to get faster computation in OptiStruct; consequently, when imported in OptiStruct, only the resulting force values will be displayed, not the components.
- Static heat volume density exports generate a .fem file of static heat sources at the volume elements. Only real scalar data collections are compatible with these exports.
- Time heat volume density exports, generate a .fem file of heat volume density variation versus time at the elements. Only real scalar data collections, transient and multi-steps, are compatible with these exports. The user should specify:
- The time interval to be exported. An error message appears if there is no data for one or several steps of a chosen interval for the data collection to be exported.
- Exports of static temperatures, generate a .fem file of static temperatures at the nodes. Only real scalar data collections are compatible with these exports.
- A file name
- The possibility of defining the support mesh in the exported file
- The type of forces definition (forces at nodes or global force over a support)
The behavior of global forces export is explained here.
- The ID of the main LOAD card ( or DLOAD)
- The adding of BEGIN BULK and ENDDATA at the beginning and at the end of the file
