Lab

Enables or disables the GST feature:

ON – Enable
OFF – Disable
RunTrack

ON – Enable
OFF – Disable (default)

Command Default

GST is enabled (Lab = ON) for interactive sessions and disabled (Lab = OFF) for batch runs.

Notes

For interactive sessions using the GUI (/MENU,ON), GST directs solution graphics to the screen.

For interactive sessions not using the GUI (/MENU,OFF), or for batch sessions, GST saves solution graphics to the Jobname.gst file. To create a Jobname.gst file that is compatible with the Results Tracker utility (available via the Mechanical APDL Product Launcher), issue /GST,ON,ON.

You can use the GST feature for these nonlinear analysis types: structural, thermal, electric, magnetic, fluid, and diffusion.

For more information about GST and illustrations of the GST graphics for each analysis type, see the analysis guide for the appropriate discipline.
