Vector Id Label Description
3012 ROD MOMENT END A-X Rod element torque at end A about element x-direction. Controlled by FORCE Case Control command.
3013 ROD MOMENT END B-X Rod element torque at end B about element x-direction. Controlled by FORCE Case Control command.
3036 ROD FORCE END A-X Rod element axial force at end A in element x-direction. Controlled by FORCE Case Control command.
3037 ROD FORCE END B-X Rod element axial force at end B in element x-direction. Controlled by FORCE Case Control command.
3183 ROD AXIAL STRESS Rod element axial stress. Controlled by STRESS Case Control command.
3186 ROD TORSIONAL STRESS Rod element torsional stress. Controlled by STRESS Case Control command.
3290 ROD EQUIVALENT STRESS Rod element nonlinear equivalent axial stress (material nonlinear solutions) or axial stress (linear solutions). Note that for prestress solutions, regardless of PARAM, ADDPRESTRESS setting, equivalent stress will not include prestress contribution. Controlled by STRESS or STRAIN Case Control commands (linear solutions) and NLSTRESS Case Control command (nonlinear solutions).
3291 ROD EFFECTIVE STRAIN-ELASTIC Rod element effective axial strain. Note that for prestress solutions, regardless of PARAM, ADDPRESTRESS setting, effective strain will not include prestress contribution. Controlled by STRESS or STRAIN Case Control commands.
3291 ROD EFFECTIVE STRAIN-PLASTIC/NONLINEAR ELASTIC Rod element effective strain (nonlinear elastic material) or plastic strain (elastic-plastic material). Controlled by NLSTRESS Case Control command.
3292 ROD EFFECTIVE STRAIN-CREEP Rod element effective creep strain. Controlled by NLSTRESS Case Control command.
3481 ROD STATUS Solution and option dependent. In modal summation solutions (DDAM) STATUS, is the mode number with the maximum response in the NRL summation.
3683 ROD AXIAL STRAIN Rod element axial strain. Controlled by STRAIN Case Control commands.
3686 ROD TORSIONAL STRAIN Rod element torsional strain. Controlled by STRAIN Case Control commands.
3998 ROD DAMAGE Rod element fatigue damage. Controlled by FATIGUE, STRESS, and STRAIN Case Control commands.
3999 ROD LIFE Rod element fatigue life. Controlled by FATIGUE, STRESS, and STRAIN Case Control commands.
