/H3D/BEAM

Engine Keyword Generate H3D contour output results for /BEAM beam elements.

Format

/H3D/BEAM/Keyword3/Keyword4

Example

# von-Mises stress
/H3D/BEAM/VONM
# Specific energy density results for only parts IDs 356 and 293.
/H3D/BEAM/ENER
356 293

Definitions

Data Description SI Unit Example
Keyword3 Output types. 3  
Keyword4 Output types. 3  
part_IDN Optional list of part IDs for which results will be output.  

Comments

  1. The syntax /H3D/ELEM/Keyword3/Keyword4 is also valid.
  2. When PART IDs are listed after the /H3D/BEAM line, the specified results will only be output for those parts.
  3. The scalar output is:
    Table 1. Scalar Output
    Keyword3 Keyword4 Description
    AMS   Elements using AMS timestep due to /DT/CSdT_AMS.
    DT   Element timestep.
    ENER   Specific energy density (internal energy divided by the element mass).
    EPSP NPT=I or ALL Plastic strain. The integration point output NPT is only available for /PROP/TYPE18 (INT_BEAM).
    F1, F2, F3   Force in local coordinate system.
    F1
    Force in X direction
    F2
    Force in Y direction
    F3
    Force in Z direction
    FORC   All forces and moments in local coordinate system.

    F1, F2, F3, M11, M21, M31, M12, M22, M32

    M11, M21, M31, M12, M22, M32   Moment in local coordinate system.
    M11
    Moment in X at node 1
    M21
    Moment in Y at node 1
    M31
    Moment in Z at node 1
    M12
    Moment in X at node 2
    M22
    Moment in Y at node 2
    M32
    Moment in Z at node 2
    MASS   Element mass.
    OFF   Element status.
    Where the result output is:
    = -1
    Element is not active (it is defined in an activated rigid body).
    = 0
    Deleted element.
    = 1
    Active element.
    SIGX, SIGY, SIGZ, SIGXY, SIGYZ, SIGZX   Stress in specified direction.
    VONM   von Mises stress.
  4. The output location in Keyword4 can be defined via:

    NPT = integration points

  5. Output can be requested for a specific location number (I), ALL. The output locations are separated by a forward slash (/) and can be in any order.
