PARAM, EXCOUT

Bulk Data Entry Output of condensed superelement information for AVL/EXCITE to the corresponding output files.

Parameter Values Description
EXCOUT <-1, 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6> Output of condensed superelement information for AVL/EXCITE to the corresponding output files. 3 This parameter is now obsolete, use PARAM,EXCEXB.
-1
No output.
0 (Default)
All output. 2
1
Filtered based on the MODEL I/O Options entry. If MODEL=ALL is present in the model then the DOF, geometry, element tables (GEOM1, GEOM2, EQEXIN, and USET), as well as the reduced mass and stiffness matrices (MAA and KMAA) are output. Other options of the MODEL entry generate corresponding output subsets for PARAM,EXCOUT,1. 1
3
1 + eigenvectors of the full system (GOA transpose). 2
4
3 + unreduced mass matrix (MFF). 2
5
1 + eigenvectors of condensed system (PHA) and the grid point stress table (OGS1). 2
6
4 + eigenvectors of condensed system (PHA) and the grid point stress table (OGS1). 2

Comments

  1. When PARAM,EXCOUT,1 is specified and the MODEL I/O Options Entry is not defined, then only the ASET DOF are output. The other data, like non-ASET DOF, geometry, element tables and so on (see 1 above) are NOT output in this particular case.
  2. For all other options, except PARAM,EXCOUT,1, the MODEL=ALL command is enforced regardless of user input. Therefore, for PARAM,EXCOUT,0/3/4/5/6, the corresponding output listed above for each option is generated for the entire model and the user-defined MODEL entry is ignored.
  3. The results are output to the .doft, .geom, MEIG.out2, _MGPS.out2, .out2, _MFF.out4, _X2OA.out4, and .out4 files.
