structure shell export command

Syntax

structure shell export keyword <range>

Primary keywords:

filename    position    displacement    velocity    acceleration    stress    location-index    depth-factor    group    slot

Exports data from shell elements to csv file. This command controls if and what values are included in the exported file. The values being exported by default are positions, stresses, groups, and displacements.

filename s

Specify the output filename s.

position b

Includes the position of structure elements

displacement b

Includes the displacement vector at the centroid of structure elements

velocity b

Includes the velocity vector at the centroid of structure elements

acceleration b

Includes the acceleration vector at the centroid of structure elements

stress b

Includes the stresses at the centroid of structure elements. Note that a stress recovery operation must be performed to get non-zero stresses. Use the commands structure shell recover surface and structure shell recover resultants.

location-index i

Indicates where the stresses are computed: i = 0 corresponds to the element centroid, while i = 1 to 3 indicates the positions of the nodes with those local indices.

depth-factor f

Specifies the depth factor at which stresses for elements with an elastic material model have been recovered.

group b

Includes the group assignments to elements in the slot defined by keyword Slot

slot s

Specifies the slot s in which the group name is exported. If not specified, slot Default is used.
