ENERGY

I/O Options and Subcase Information Entry

ENERGY - Output Request for Geometric Nonlinear Analysis Subcase

Description

The ENERGY command can be used in the I/O Options or Subcase Information sections to request energy output for all geometric nonlinear analysis subcases or individual geometric nonlinear analysis subcases, respectively.

Format

ENERGY (format, type) = option

Argument	Options	Description
format	<H3D, blank> Default = blank	H3D:	Results are output in Hyper3D format (.h3d file).
		blank:	Results are output in all active formats for which the result is available.

type	<ALL, ENERG, HOURG> Default = ALL	ALL:	All energy results are output.
		ENERG:	All energy results without hourglass energy are output.
		HOURG:	Hourglass energy only is output.

option	<YES, ALL, NO, NONE, SID, PSID> Default = ALL	YES, ALL, blank:	Energy results are output for all elements.
		NO, NONE:	Energy results are not output.
		SID:	If a set ID is given, energy results are output only for elements listed in that set.
		PSID:	If a property set ID is given, energy results for the elements referencing properties listed in the property set are output.

Comments

1.	ENERGY is only applicable for geometric nonlinear analysis subcases which are defined by an ANALYSIS = EXPDYN subcase entry. It is ignored for all other subcases.

2.	Only formats that have been activated by an OUTPUT statement are valid for use on this card.

Multiple formats are allowed on the same entry; these should be comma separated. If a format is not specified, this output control applies to all formats defined by the OUTPUT command, for which the result is available. See Results Output for information on which results are available in which formats.

4.	Multiple instances of this card are allowed; if instances are conflicting, the last instance dominates.
