ENERGY

I/O Options and Subcase Information Entry Used to request energy output for all geometric nonlinear analysis subcases or individual geometric nonlinear analysis subcases, respectively.

Format

ENERGY (format, type) = option

Definitions

Argument Options Description
format <H3D, blank>
H3D
Results are output in Hyper3D format (.h3d file).
blank (Default)
Results are output in all active formats for which the result is available.
type <ALL, ENERG, HOURG>
ALL (Default)
All energy results are output.
ENERG
All energy results without hourglass energy are output.
HOURG
Hourglass energy only is output.
option <YES, ALL, NO, NONE, SID, PSID>

Default = ALL
YES, ALL, blank
Energy results are output for all elements.
NO, NONE
Energy results are not output.
SID
If a set ID is given, energy results are output only for elements listed in that set.
PSID
If a property set ID is given, energy results for the elements referencing properties listed in the property set are output.

Comments

  1. ENERGY is only applicable for Geometric Nonlinear Analysis Subcases which are defined by an ANALYSIS= EXPDYN Subcase Information Entry. It is ignored for all other subcases.
  2. Only formats that have been activated by an OUTPUT statement are valid for use on this card.
  3. Multiple formats are allowed on the same entry; these should be comma separated. If a format is not specified, this output control applies to all formats defined by the OUTPUT command, for which the result is available.
  4. Multiple instances of this card are allowed; if instances are conflicting, the last instance dominates.
