Standard Result Outputs

If a result OUTPUT not defined, the default result output is both HM and H3D. If any result OUTPUT commands exist, there is no default OUTPUT type.

Keyword Description Default Frequency Affected Files Options Details
HM Output results in HyperMesh binary format. FL *.res <NODMIG, DMIGALL, DMIGSET> Determines whether or not to output results for interior points of external superelements. 16
NODMIG
Recovery is deactivated
DMIGALL
Recovery is activated for all grids/elements
DMIGSET (Default)
Recovery is activated for grids/elements in the SET defined on the corresponding output request.
H3D, HV Output results in Hyper3D format. FL *.h3d <BYSUB, BYITER>
Default = BYSUB
Note: Applicable to optimization runs only.
 Determines the way the output files are arranged in an optimization run. 15
<NODMIG, DMIGALL, DMIGSET> Determines whether or not to output results for interior points of external superelements. 16
NODMIG
Recovery is deactivated
DMIGALL
Recovery is activated for all grids/elements
DMIGSET (Default)
Recovery is activated for grids/elements in the SET defined on the corresponding output request.
OP2, OUT2, OUTPUT2 Output analysis results in Nastran output2 format. FL *.op2 <MODEL, NOMODEL>

Default = MODEL

 Turns on/off the output of the model data to the file. 11 12
<NODMIG, DMIGALL, DMIGSET> Determines whether or not to output results for interior points of external superelements. 16
NODMIG
Recovery is deactivated
DMIGALL
Recovery is activated for all grids/elements
DMIGSET (Default)
Recovery is activated for grids/elements in the SET defined on the corresponding output request.
NASTRAN, PUNCH, PCH Output analysis results in Nastran punch format. FL *.pch <NODMIG, DMIGALL, DMIGSET> Determines whether or not to output results for interior points of external superelements. 16
NODMIG
Recovery is deactivated
DMIGALL
Recovery is activated for all grids/elements
DMIGSET (Default)
Recovery is activated for grids/elements in the SET defined on the corresponding output request.
*_s#.pch <BYSUB, blank>
BYSUB
A separate PUNCH file (*_s#.pch) is generated for each subcase, where # is the subcase ID. This option is supported for all analysis types for which Punch output is supported. If POST,TOFILE is also specified, it takes precedence for the subcases it is specified in.
blank (Default)
A single PUNCH file (*.pch) is generated for all subcases unless POST,TOFILE is specified).
OPTI, ASCII, OS Output results in OptiStruct ASCII format. FL *.cstr, *.dens, *.disp, *.force, *.gpf, *.load, *.mpcf, *.spcf, *.strs - For more information about the old and new OPTI formats, refer to PARAM, OPTI.
PATRAN, APATRAN Output analysis results in Patran ASCII format.

(APATRAN uses an alternate file naming convention, with the iteration number after the file extension).

 FL *.#.#.#.dis, *.#.#.dis, *.#.#.els, *.#.dis, *.#.els,

*.#.#.dis.#, *.#.dis.#, *.#.els.#, *.dis.#, *.els.#

 - -
HDF5 Results are output in the Hierarchical Data Format, Version 5 (.h5 file). 22 FL *.h5 <YES, NO, COMP, NOCOMP>
YES
Activates HDF5 output.
NO (Default)
Deactivates HDF5 output.
COMP
Activates HDF5 output with compression, to reduce the size of the .h5 file.
Note: Enabling compression could lead to a tradeoff in the run time.
NOCOMP
Activates HDF5 output without compression. This is same as OUTPUT, HDF5, YES.
NONE Results are not output in any of the formats listed above. - - - -
