Inputs
- [arguments]
- Include any of the following, in addition to any of the standard
HyperMesh results translator arguments:
- -suffix
- Appends the suffix .0 to the name of the results files.
- -lower
- Defines the lower bound of load cases. The default is 1.
- -upper
- Defines the upper bound of load cases. The default is 10.
- -nf
- Defines the name of the nodal files. The default isnod.
- -local
- Specifies that displacements are in the local coordinate systems.
- -label
- The name of the label file. This file is used to label the columns in the results file. The format of the file is similar to that of the HyperMesh command file. The command *elementlabel() is used to provide names to the translator.
