_e.nlm file
The _e.nlm file is an OptiStruct ASCII format results file.
File Creation
- Default output is printed in filename_s<n>_e.nlm files for each nonlinear subcase, where <n> denotes the subcase ID.
- Entity-specific energy output if activated, is named as:
- filename_eset<ID>_s<n>_e.nlm
- filename_cont<ID>_s<n>_e.nlm
- filename_pgap<ID>_s<n>_e.nlm
for each entity in each nonlinear subcase, where <ID> denotes the entity ID and <n> the subcase ID.
