MODALSE – Output Request
The MODALSE command can be used above the first SUBCASE or within a SUBCASE definition to request modal strain energy output for all subcases or individual subcases, respectively.
MODALSE(format_list,MODES=mset,TYPE=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 |
<AVERAGE, AMPLITUDE, PEAK> Default = AVERAGE |
AVERAGE: |
The average of the energy is output. |
AMPLITUDE: |
The amplitude of the energy is output. |
||
PEAK: |
The peak energy is output. This is the sum of AVERAGE and AMPLITUDE. |
||
|
|||
mset |
<ALL, SID, TOTAL> Default = ALL |
ALL: |
Modal energy is output for all modes. |
SID: |
If a set ID is given, modal energy is output only for modes listed in that set. |
||
TOTAL: |
Only the total energy is output. |
||
|
|||
option |
<YES, ALL, NO, Default = ALL |
YES, ALL, blank: |
Modal energy is output. |
NO, NONE: |
Modal energy is not output. |
1. | When MODALSE command is not present, modal strain energy is not output. |
2. | Modal strain energy output is only available for modal frequency response analysis. |
3. | 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. |
5. | For optimization, the frequency of output to a given format is controlled by the I/O option OUTPUT. |
