Hi

I was trying to get reactions by defining *DATABASE_SPCFORC. In my model, I applied 305 mm upward displacement at one end of the first pipe and tried to get reactions at the middle span nodes of the second and third pipe. Since, I ran this in HPC, I have to run

ls-dyna_mpp_d_r8_0_0_95359_x64_redhat54_ifort131_sse2_mpich313.l2a binout0000 

But I am not getting spcforc that has been requested. Can anyone help me what to do?

Hello,

Is the spcforc output shown when the binout file is opened in LS-PrePost?

Does the model have the *BOUNDARY_SPC keyword?

Hi

Yes, the model does have *BOUNDARY_SPC keyword. While opening d3plot in LSDyna prepost, we were not able to see spcforc. In another model, I did the exact procedure and upon running ls-dyna_mpp_d_r8_0_0_95359_x64_redhat54_ifort131_sse2_mpich313.l2a binout0000, we got elout and spcforc. But in this specific model, I am not able to see spcforc, only eloout was found. Don't understand what are the issues behind that.

1. Try reading binout0000 directly into LS-PrePost. (The other binout**** files should be also read automatically if they are present in the working directory.) 2. d3hsp should report which binout* file contains spcforc, if in fact spcforc data is written. Edit d3hsp and look for "The following binary output files are being created".

The issues have been resolved. Basically, there was another binout0003 file where the spcforc was written. So, when I ran this instead of binout0000, I found spcforc. Thanks.

Thanks for the update. I should have noticed you typed "l2a binout0000" instead of "l2a binout*".
