I/O Options EntryThe SHRES command can be used in the I/O Options section to control the frequency of output of the state files (.#.sh file and the .#.grid file).

Format

SHRES = frequency

Definitions

Argument Options Description
frequency <FIRST, LAST, FL, ALL, NONE, N>

Default = LAST
FIRST
The files are output for the first iteration only.
LAST, blank
The files are output for the final iteration only.
FL
The files are output for both the first and last iterations.
ALL
The files are output for all iterations.
NONE
The files are not output.
N
The files are output for the first and last iterations and for every Nth iteration. If N = 5, output occurs for iterations 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and so on, and the final iteration. All equation and combination responses are output.

Comments

  1. When a SHRES command is not present, state files are output for the final iteration only.
  2. The .grid file is only output for shape, topography, and free-shape optimization.
  3. For all .sh and .grid output files bar the last one, the files are named <prefix><iter#>.sh(.grid). The last one is just named <prefix>.sh(.grid).
  4. The .grid file output may also be controlled by the GRID keyword on the OUTPUT card.
  5. From 10.0 onwards, it is recommended to use the OUTPUT I/O Option Entry to control this output.
