THIN

I/O Options and Subcase Information Entry

THIN - Output Request for Geometric Nonlinear Analysis Subcase

Description

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

Format

THIN (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, THIN, THICK> Default = ALL	ALL:	Thinning and thickness results are output.
		THIN:	Percentage element thinning only is output.
		THICK:	Element thickness only is output.

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

Comments

1.	THIN is only applicable for geometric nonlinear analysis subcases which are defined by an ANALYSIS = NLGEOM subcase entry.

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.
