SPCD displacements

Altair Forum User

Hello,

 

I used 'fields' to transfer displacments and rotations from a model with a coarse mesh to a model with a fine mesh.

There are different Interpolation Options available.

 

How can I read (show) all displacements/rotation in the createted SPCD's (maybe in a table) before solving?

Hi Oli,

 

Do you want to show/label displacement/rotation values on GUI for SPCDs?

Altair Forum User

Yes, like in the Picture below. I want to see the displacements/rotations for all SPCD's in one load collector. I just know how to display a single one. Would be great to have get table with all dis/rot from one load collector.

Hi,

 

I will check if there is a script which can do that.

Hi Oli,

 

Unfortunately I couldn't find a script to write out SPCD data to text file or some other format.

 

You can either write your own script or get from .fem file

This template may help (run by command *usercheck spcd.tpl spcdout.csv 0)

file spcd.tpl:

*loads(3,2,'SPCD')

   *format()

       *string('SPCD,')

       *field(integer,collector.id,0) *string(',')

       *field(integer,location.id,0)

       *if([comp1!=-999999.0])   

            *string(',1,')       

*field(real,comp1,8) *end()   

        *endif()

        *if([comp2!=-999999.0])   

             *string(',2,')       

*field(real,comp2,8) *end()   

        *endif()

        *if([comp3!=-999999.0])   

             *string(',3,')       

*field(real,comp3,8) *end()   

        *endif()

        *if([comp4!=-999999.0])   

             *string(',4,')       

*field(real,comp4,8) *end()   

        *endif()

        *if([comp5!=-999999.0])   

            *string(',5,')   

*field(real,comp5,8) *end()       

        *endif()

        *if([comp6!=-999999.0])   

             *string(',6,')       

*field(real,comp6,8) *end()   

        *endif()
