Hmabaqus supports real and imaginary results for *STEADY STATE DYNAMICS analysis.  If the results are in the form of real and imaginary numbers, hmabaqus calculates the corresponding magnitude and phase.  If the magnitude and phases are available from the .fil file, hmabaqus calculates the corresponding real and imaginary values.

All complex data type names will have (c) postfix.  In addition, data types without the (c) will contain the magnitude of the result.

HyperMesh always uses magnitude and phase values to contour plot the complex results.

Each result would be obtained using the following equation:

You can choose the value of when viewing the result by specifying the angle on the Contour or Deformed panel on the Post page.

When you plot the contour for a complex data type and click a node/element, both real/imaginary and magnitude/phase pairs are shown.
