ASCII Output for implicit geometry nonlinear static simulaiton

Hello everyone!

 

I would like to create an ascii output file for an inhouse postprocessing, which would contain a history of stress in chosen elements and rotational displacement (angle) of a node which is a center of rotation of a cylinder. The type of simulation that I use is implicit nonlinear statics, with several load increment steps. I was trying to print out all the data in a punch file, but this didn't work - the file was created, but it was empty. It is also important to me to print rotation angle for a chosen node and not other quantities. I cannot find this option among the availabel output types when creating an 'output block' in hm in optistruct user profile.

 

Is there any method to print the history of these two output types in the ascii format?

 

Thank you for your answer in advance,

Jakub

    Hi,

     

    Please see the attached screen shot for ASCII format support for Nonlinear analysis using Optistruct.
