The Result Options PropertyManager allows you to set result options for static, linear dynamic, nonlinear studies, and thermal transient studies.
Quantities to Save into File
Available for static studies only.
| Stresses and Strains |
When selected, the program stores the stress and strain results in the result file (*.CWR). When this option is cleared, the program calculates and saves only displacement and body force results. The default option for the solver is to calculate and store all the results.
Clear this option, if you want to run a fast analysis to view displacement results of your model, and save disk storage space.
|
| For all solution steps |
When selected, the program saves the results at all solution steps. |
| For specified solution steps |
When selected, the program saves the results at solution steps specified in sets. |
Quantity
Available for linear dynamic studies only. Results of the following quantities are saved when selected:
| Displacements and velocities |
|
Relative
|
(Relative to the base. Applicable to linear dynamic studies with uniform base excitation.)
|
|
Absolute
|
If you apply selected base excitation, results are reported always in absolute values.
|
|
| Stress and Reactions |
|
| All stress components |
Results for all stress components are available for plotting. |
| Nodal von Mises stress only (Faster) |
Reduces the file size of analysis results for linear dynamic studies. Only the von Mises stress component is available for plotting. |
| PSD Stresses |
(Applicable to random vibration studies) |
Acceleration quantities are always absolute. Nonlinear dynamic studies always save relative displacements and velocities.
Solution Steps - Set 1
Appears if For specified solution steps is selected.
| Start |
The first solution step number. |
| End |
The last solution step number. |
| Increment |
Solution step increment. |
Solution Steps - Set 2
Appears if Solution Steps - Set 1 is selected. You can specify up to five sets.
Locations for Graphs
Appears if For specified solution steps is selected. Select vertices and reference points to save the results. Results are saved at every solution step.
If you do not select at least one entity, the results are saved for all nodes.
| For all solution steps |
When checked, the program saves the results at all solution steps. |
| For specified solution steps |
When checked, the program saves the results at solution steps specified in sets. |
Mode Selection
Available for linear dynamic studies only (time history, harmonic, and random vibration).
| All modes |
When selected, all the available normal modes participate in the dynamic solution. |
| Selected modes |
When selected, you can choose the normal modes you want to include in the dynamic solution. |
