VECTOR

Displacement Output Requests

Description: Requests displacement vector output.

Format:

Example:

VECTOR = ALL

Option	Definition	Type	Default
PRINT	Grid point displacements will be output to both the Model Results Output File and the results neutral file system.	Character	✓
PLOT	Grid point displacements will be output only to the results neutral file system.	Character
PUNCH	Grid point displacements will be output additionally to the Model Results Punch File.	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	Displacements for all grid points will be output.	Character	✓
n	Set identification of previously appearing SET command. Only displacements of grid points whose identification numbers appear on this SET command will be output.	Integer > 0
NONE	Grid point displacements will not be output.	Character

Remarks:

1. VECTOR displacement results are output in the global coordinate system. (See CD field on the GRID Bulk Data entry in Section 4, Bulk Data.)
2. The translation components are in the same units of measure as the model. The rotation components are in radians.
