Could you please advise on how to automatically output the result as a file with the .out extension after setting OUTPR, ESOL, LAST in the solution phase?

Hi,

To automatically output the result as a file with the .out extension after setting OUTPR, ESOL, LAST in the solution phase, you can use the /OUTPUT command before issuing the SOLVE command. This will redirect the output to a file instead of the screen. 

Please find more information through below link.

Thank you

This is an excellent article. This is, in my opinion, one of the best posts ever written. Your work is excellent and inspiring curve rush free game. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for your reply, I have tested what you said and it still doesn’t work. I have tested the /output position as well and it still doesn’t work.

 

such as:
FINISH$/CLEAR
!/filname,00 SHELL, 1
/PREP7!!

….

/solu
/output
allsel, all
antype,0
!nlgeom, on
ERESX,no
autots,on
nsubst,10,500,10
neqit,100
!stat, inrtia
cnvtol,u,,0.05
cnvtol,f,-1
cnvtol,M,-1
outres,esol,last
OUTPR,ESOL,LAST
!/output
solve

or

/solu
!/output
allsel, all
antype,0
!nlgeom, on
ERESX,no
autots,on
nsubst,10,500,10
neqit,100
!stat, inrtia
cnvtol,u,,0.05
cnvtol,f,-1
cnvtol,M,-1
outres,esol,last
OUTPR,ESOL,LAST
/output
solve

When the output command is placed at the very beginning of all commands, the out file can be output. However, in the solution phase, performing /output before solving doesn’t result in an out file, only in the preprocessor phase?

Hello, 

Here is the sample script. It will print all the solution characteristics along with the solution items that are to be printed to a file named "Solutionprint" in solver directory.

Hello! I noticed that the out file results do not include the principal stress results, only the results below, but there is no relevant explanation in the esol documentation.
“S”     Stresses (11,22,33,12,23,13)
“EPTO”  Strains  (11,22,33,12)
“EPEL”  StrainsEL(11,22,33,12)

My structure is cylindrical, and I want to extract the radial strain and principal stress at the integration point.

According to your command, a file named “Solutionprint” was generated in the solver directory. However, the file does not contain the solution results.
