Use this option to identify a single solution for expansion if you do not need to expand multiple
solutions in a range. You can specify it either by load step and substep number or by frequency.
Also specify whether to calculate stresses and forces (default is to calculate both).- Option: Phase Angle for Expansion (HREXP)
If multiple solutions are to be expanded over a frequency range (NUMEXP), we suggest that you
request both the real and imaginary parts to be expanded (HREXP,ALL). This way, you can easily
combine the two parts in POST26 to review the peak values of displacements, stresses, and other
results.If, on the other hand, a single solution is to be expanded (EXPSOL), you can specify the phase
angle at which peak displacements occurred using HREXP,angle.- Option: Stress Calculations On/Off (NUMEXP or EXPSOL)
You can turn off stress and force calculations if you are not interested in them. Default is to calcu-
late stresses and forces.- Option: Nodal Solution Listing Format (HROUT)
Determines how the harmonic displacement solution is listed in the printed output (Job-
name.OUT). You can choose between real and imaginary parts (default), and amplitudes and
phase angles.- Specify load step options. The only options valid for a harmonic expansion pass are output controls:
- Printed Output (OUTPR)
Use this option to include any results data on the printed output file (Jobname.OUT). Note that
if the element results were calculated in the modal analysis, then no element output is available
in the expansion pass. Use /POST1 to review element results.- Database and Results File Output (OUTRES)
Use this option to control the data on the results file (Jobname.RST).- Extrapolation of Results (ERESX)
Use this option to review element integration point results by copying them to the nodes instead
of extrapolating them (default). Note that if the element results were calculated in the modal
analysis , then this option is not applicableNoteThe FREQ field on OUTPR and OUTRES can be only ALL or NONE.- Start expansion pass calculations.
