Output Menu
Lists various options to define animation and time history outputs in the model for post-processing. Accordingly, they are broadly classified into three sections as Animation, Time History and Checks.
Restriction: The menu is slightly different for LS-DYNA, Radioss and PAM-CRASH
solvers.
| Database Extent | Opens the control card Database Extent that allows you to specify the result types that needs to be output in animation file. (LS-DYNA user profile only) |
| Database BINARY | Opens the control cards that specify the output frequency for BINARY files including animation files. (LS-DYNA user profile only) |
| Database Format | Control card to specify the format of the animation file. (LS-DYNA user profile only) |
| Node, Accelerometer, Element, Component, Assembly, System, Contact, Rigid Wall and Section | Create, edit and review Time History requests on these entities. Opens the Output Blocks panel with the corresponding entity set for the entity selector. |
| History Interval | Opens the control cards that specify the output frequency and format for time history files. (LS-DYNA user profile only) |
| Relative Displacement | Interactively create a spring with no stiffness to measure the distance between the two nodes of interest and the corresponding TH/SPRING card for output in time history file. (Radioss user profile only) |
| Checks > Penetration | Opens the Penetration/Intersection panel, allowing you to check for penetrations and/or intersections of elements. |
| Checks > Model Checker | Checks the model for errors and warnings. This tool is available in the Crash Radioss and LS-DYNA user profiles. |
