H3D

Command ElementDefines a command element to control the H3D file output.

Example

H3D/On, INC=2, FORMAT=AUTO, STA=.5, END=.6, STRESS=TENSOR, STRAIN=NONE

Format

H3D/ {On, Off} [, INCREMENT = i ]
[, FORMAT = {AUTO, MODAL, NODAL}]
[, START_TIME = r] [, END_TIME = r]
[, STRESS = {NONE, TENSOR, DIRECT}]
[, STRAIN = {NONE, TENSOR }]

Arguments

END_TIME
Time at which the H3D file output should end.
FORMAT
ID of the curve.
INCREMENT
INCREMENT=i means output animation data at every i-th time step.
{On, Off}
On - H3D output is generated.
Off - H3D file is not generated.
START_TIME
Time at which the H3D file output should start.
STRAIN
NONE
Do not output STRAIN data.
TENSOR
The stress results are written in tensor format to the H3D file. HyperView calculates the vonMises and other parameters from the stress tensor.
STRESS
STRESS has three choices: NONE, TENSOR, and DIRECT. The NONE and TENSOR choices work exactly like the STRAIN argument.
DIRECT
the vonMises, Max Shear, and Max Principal stresses are computed from the stress tensor and written as scalar data to the H3D file. This option is applicable only for FORMAT = NODAL and increases the size of the H3D file.
