The Output menu lists various options to define animation and time history outputs in the model for post-processing. Accordingly they are broadly classified into three sections as Animation, Time History and Checks. The menu is slightly different for LS-DYNA, RADIOSS and PAM-CRASH solvers.

PAM-CRASH |
Database Extent |
Opens the control card Database Extent that allows you to specify the result types that needs to be output in animation file. (LS-DYNA user profile only) |
Database Binary |
Opens the control cards that specify the output frequency for binary files including animation files. (LS-DYNA user profile only) |
Database Format |
Control card to specify the format of the animation file. (LS-DYNA user profile only) |
Node, Accelerometer, Element, Component, Assembly, System, Contact, Rigid Wall and Section |
Create, edit and review Time History requests on these entities. Opens the Output Blocks panel with the corresponding entity set for the entity selector. |
History Interval |
Opens the control cards that specify the output frequency and format for time history files. (LS-DYNA user profile only) |
Interactively create a spring with no stiffness to measure the distance between the two nodes of interest and the corresponding TH/SPRING card for output in time history file. (RADIOSS user profile only) |
|
Opens the Penetration/Intersection panel, allowing you to check for penetrations and/or intersections of elements. |
|
Checks > Model Checker |
Checks the model for errors and warnings. This tool is available in the Crash RADIOSS and LS-DYNA user profiles. |
