*STATOUT

Data format:

A single line with 6 values :

IPRINT INTCOO ITERAS ITERAE NPTS ILINEA

Status :

Optional

Purpose :

Static output control.

Details :

Parameter Description
IPRINT Flag of unbalanced forces printout at each step
of the static calculation: IPRINT=0 no print, IPRINT=1 print
INTCOO Flag for printings of the co-ordinates of intermediate points on each element =0 no print , =1 print
ITERAS,ITERAE Iteration numbers between which a printout of displacement corrections is required ( only if IPRINT=1 )
NPTS Number of intermediate points used for geometry plots if required (limited to MAXPTS , version dependent parameter).
ILINEA type of interpolation between 2 nodes for the configurations plotting
=0 linear interpolation
=1 interpolation with the shape functions

Notes :

  • See keyword CONVS and DELTAX for the interpretation of unbalanced forces and displacement corrections printout. Those values may be of high interest when dealing with convergence troubles.

  • ILINEA is defined here for dynamic simulation as well.

Example :

*STATOUT
1 0 95 100 10 1

It is asked to the program to printout unbalanced forces from iteration 95 to iteration 100 but not to print out the co-ordinates of the intermediate points on each element. For geometry plots 10 points will be used and there will be an interpolation with the shape functions between the two nodes of each element.
