*OUTELEM
Data format:
One line with 4 parameters, followed by one line with 2 parameters, as follow:
IOUT1 IOUT2 IOUT3 IOUT4
IEL_1 ... IEL_N
Status:
Optional.
Purpose:
To ask the FE engine to write specific hydrodynamic data output files related to selected elements.
Details:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| IOUT1 | IOUT1 = 1: Creates a "cine_elem_XX.csv" file where XX is the element identification number. This file provides the wave particle velocity and wave particle acceleration against time for the selected elements. See the example below for details on the file content. IOUT1 = 0: No output file is created. |
| IOUT2 | IOUT2 = 1: Creates a "dhi_param_elem_XX.csv" file where XX is the element identification number. This file provides the KC number, alpha parameter, corrected drag coefficient and corrected lift coefficient against time for the selected elements. See the example below for details on the file content. IOUT2 = 0: No output file is created. |
| IOUT3 | IOUT3 = 1: Creates a "effo_lin_elem_XX.csv" file where XX is the element identification number. This file provides the horizontal force per unit length, lift force per unit length, line velocity and line acceleration against time for the selected elements. See the example below for details on the file content. IOUT3 = 0: No output file is created. |
| IOUT4 | IOUT4 = 1: Creates a "effo_lin_elem_fixed_XX.csv" file where XX is the element identification number. This file provides the fixed drag force per unit length and fixed lift force per unit length against time for the selected elements. Fixed drag and fixed lift forces refer to the loads acting on a still line, which is then to be corrected to account for the line motion. See the example below for details on the file content. IOUT4 = 0: No output file is created. |
| IEL_1 ... IEL_N | Identification number of the elements on which output data are to be extracted. |
