ELEMGEOMOUT

Description	Type	Default
Option to output individual element geometry statistics. When ELEMGEOMOUT is set to ON, the following statistics are output to the Model Results Output File for each element: Aspect ratio Taper ratio Skew angle Warping angle Normalized Jacobian The data is sorted based on normalized Jacobian determinant, skew angle, and aspect ratio in ascending order for each element type. If ELEMGEOMOUT is set to ASPECTRATIO, then the sort will be in descending order and only based on element aspect ratio. If ELEMGEOMOUT is set to SKEWANGLE, then the sort will be in descending order and only based on element skew angle. If ELEMGEOMOUT is set to JACOBIAN1, then the sort will be in ascending order and only based on the total Jacobian determinant normalized using element volume. If ELEMGEOMOUT is set to JACOBIAN2, then the sort will be in ascending order and only based on the minimum Jacobian determinant at each corner node normalized using adjacent element edge lengths.

Description

Type

Default

Option to output individual element geometry statistics. When ELEMGEOMOUT is set to ON, the following statistics are output to the Model Results Output File for each element:

Aspect ratio
Taper ratio
Skew angle
Warping angle
Normalized Jacobian

The data is sorted based on normalized Jacobian determinant, skew angle, and aspect ratio in ascending order for each element type. If ELEMGEOMOUT is set to ASPECTRATIO, then the sort will be in descending order and only based on element aspect ratio. If ELEMGEOMOUT is set to SKEWANGLE, then the sort will be in descending order and only based on element skew angle. If ELEMGEOMOUT is set to JACOBIAN1, then the sort will be in ascending order and only based on the total Jacobian determinant normalized using element volume. If ELEMGEOMOUT is set to JACOBIAN2, then the sort will be in ascending order and only based on the minimum Jacobian determinant at each corner node normalized using adjacent element edge lengths.
