THIN

I/O Options and Subcase Information Entry The THIN command can be used in the I/O Options or Subcase Information sections to request thinning and thickness output for all geometric nonlinear analysis subcases or individual geometric nonlinear analysis subcases, respectively.

Format

THIN (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, THIN, THICK>
ALL (Default)
Thinning and thickness results are output.
THIN
Percentage element thinning only is output.
THICK
Element thickness only is output.
option <YES, ALL, NO, NONE, SID, PSID>

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

Comments

  1. THIN is only applicable for geometric nonlinear analysis subcases which are defined by an ANALYSIS = NLGEOM subcase entry.
  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.
