Output for Section

WORK: work of the forces and moments in the section, due to elements and interfaces saved in the section
DFX - FX error: Errors in forces in the component section
DFY - FY error: Errors in forces in the component section
DFZ - FZ error: Errors in forces in the component section
DF2: quadratic error on forces in the component section(1)
$\sum (Δ F_{x}^{2} + Δ F_{y}^{2} + Δ F_{z}^{2})$

all nodes of the cut section
WORKR: work of the moments in the section, due to elements and interfaces saves in the section
DMX - MX error: Errors in moments in the component section
DMY - MY error: Errors in moments in the component section
DMZ - MZ error: Errors in moments in the component section
DM2: quadratic error on moments in the component section $\sum (Δ M_{x}^{2} + Δ M_{y}^{2} + Δ M_{z}^{2})$
all nodes of the cut section
KIN: translational kinetic energy (section nodes)
KINR: rotational kinetic energy (section nodes)
(Be aware that if you compare these values of the component model with those of the full model, it will be different because the nodal masses are different.)
DMVX - MVX error: Errors in the translational velocities
DMVY - MVY error: Errors in the translational velocities
DMVZ - MVZ error: Errors in the translational velocities
DMV2: Error translational kinetic energy
DMV/RX - MVRX error: Errors in the rotational velocities
DMVRY - MVRY error: Errors in the rotational velocities
DMVRZ - MVRZ error: Errors in the rotational velocities
DMVR2: error rotational kinetic energy
EFW: external work of the component section. This is equal to the global external work if there is no other external work (due to another cut section, rigid wall friction, imposed velocities). It is equal to WORK with the difference of the inertia work force.
EFW = WORK - KIN ENERGY
FNX: normal force in direction X of global axis
FNY: normal force in direction Y of global axis
FNZ: normal force in direction Z of global axis
FTX: tangent force in direction X of global axis
FTY: tangent force in direction Y of global axis
FTZ: tangent force in direction Z of global axis
MX: Moment in direction X of global axis
MY: Moment in direction Y of global axis
MZ: Moment in direction Z of global axis
F1: Force in direction 1 of local axis
F2: Force in direction 2 of local axis
F3: Force in direction 3 of local axis
M1: Moment in direction 1 of local axis
M2: Moment in direction 2 of local axis
M3: Moment in direction 3 of local axis
CX: Coordinates of center of section in direction X of global axis
CY: Coordinates of center of section in direction Y of global axis
CZ: Coordinates of center of section in direction Z of global axis

Comments

Available names are listed in the two tables above.
In the first table, TH-variables are listed. If a TH-variable is requested, this variable is written.

In the second table, other variable groups are listed. If a variable group is requested, all the associated TH-variables are written at once.
The output of section force/moments errors works only for submodeling modelization, when I_SAVE =2 is used in the full model and I_SAVE =101 is used in the cut model.
