OUTRES,NSOL,5

OUTRES,ALL,10

As another example,

OUTRES,NSOL,10

OUTRES,NSOL,ALL,TIP

writes the solution at all DOFs every 10th substep and the solution at the node component "TIP" every
substep. Again, if you reverse these you only obtain output at all DOF every 10th substep.

Note

The program default for writing out solution data for all elements depends on analysis type;

see the description of OUTRES in the Command Reference. T o restrict the solution data that

is written out, use OUTRES to selectively suppress (FREQ = NONE) the writing of solution

data, or first suppress the writing of all solution data (OUTRES,ALL,NONE) and then selectively

turn on the writing of solution data with subsequent OUTRES commands.

A third output control command,ERESX, allows you to review element integration point values in the
postprocessor.
Command(s):ERESX
GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> Loads> Load Step Opts> Output Ctrls> Integration Pt
Main Menu> Solution> Load Step Opts> Output Ctrls> Integration Pt
Main Menu> Solution> Load Step Opts> Output Ctrls> Integration Pt

By default, the program extrapolates nodal results that you review in the postprocessor from integration
point values for all elements except those with active material nonlinearities (for instance, nonzero
plastic strains). By issuing ERESX,NO, you can turn off the extrapolation and instead copy integration
point values to the nodes, making those values available in the postprocessor. Another option,ERESX,YES,
forces extrapolation for all elements, whether or not they have active material nonlinearities.

2.6.5. Setting Biot-Savart Options.

These are options used in a magnetic field analysis. The two commands in this category are as follows:
