ENERSOL

ENERSOL, NVAR, Item, --, Name
Specifies the total energies to be stored.

POST26: Set Up

NVAR

Arbitrary reference number assigned to this variable (2 to NV).

Item

SENE	—	Potential energy (stiffness energy)
KENE	—	Kinetic energy
DENE	—	Damping energy
WEXT	—	Work done by external load
AENE	—	Artificial energy due to hourglass control/drill stiffness or due to contact stabilization damping
STEN	—	Artificial energy due to nonlinear stabilization

--

Unused field.

NAME

A 32-character name identifying the item on printouts and displays. Defaults to a 4-character label formed by the four characters of the Item value.

Notes

Damping energy (DENE) and work done by external loads (WEXT) are available only if the following were set prior to the analysis solution: EngCalc = YES on the TRNOPT, HROUT or MXPAND command; and Item = VENG, ESOL, or ALL on the OUTRES command.

If EngCalc = YES on the HROUT or MXPAND command, Item = SENE and KENE are the average potential and kinetic energies, respectively.
