GPSTRESS

Grid Point Stress Output Request

Description: Requests grid point stress output.

Format:

Example:

GPSTRESS(VONMISES) = ALL

Option	Definition	Type	Default
PRINT	Grid point stresses will be output to both the Model Results Output File and the results neutral file system.	Character	✓
PLOT	Grid point stresses will be output only to the results neutral file system.	Character
PUNCH	Grid point stresses will be output additionally to the Model Results Punch File.	Character
SHEAR	Maximum shear stress request for shell elements and octahedral shear stress request for solid elements.	Character
VONMISES	Von Mises stress request for shell and solid elements.	Character	✓
REAL or IMAG	Requests complex output in rectangular format (real and imaginary).	Character	✓
PHASE	Requests complex output in polar format (magnitude and phase). Phase output is in degrees.	Character
PSDF	Power spectral density function, RMS, and number of positive crossings output request.	Character
ATOC	Autocorrelation function output request.	Character
RALL	Both PSDF and ATOC will be output.	Character
ALL	Grid point stresses for all elements will be output.	Character
n	Set identification of previously appearing SET command. Only stresses for grid points whose identification numbers appear on this SET command will be output.	Integer > 0
NONE	Grid point stresses will not be output.	Character	✓

Remarks:

1. Only grid points connected to elements used to define the surface or volume are output. (See the SURFACE and VOLUME commands in Section 3, Case Control.)
2. See the STRESS command in Section 3, Case Control, for the equations used to calculate stress invariants.
