Grid Point Force Output Request
Description: Requests a static equilibrium summary.
Format:
Example:
GPFORCE = ALL
| Option | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grid point thermal gradient and heat flux will be output to both the Model Results Output File and the results neutral file system. | Character | ✓ | |
| PLOT | Grid point force balance will be output only to the results neutral file system. | Character | |
| ALL | Grid point force balance for all grid points will be output. | Character | |
| n | Set identification number of a previously appearing SET command. Only grid points whose identification numbers appear on this SET will be included in the grid point force balance. | Integer > 0 | |
| NONE | Grid point force balance will not be output. | Character | ✓ |
Remarks:
- If the GPFORCEMETHOD model parameter is set to NORAN (default is NASTRAN), only grid points connected to elements specified by FORCE or ELFORCE are output. This feature allows users to break out loads in critical areas of a large model. These loads can then be used in loading a detailed model of the critical area. (See the FORCE and ELFORCE commands in Section 3, Case Control, and the GPFORCEMETHOD model parameter in Section 5, Parameters.)
