JSOL

JSOL, NVAR, ELEM, ITEM, COMP, Name
Specifies result items to be stored for the joint element.

POST26: Set Up

NVAR: Arbitrary reference number or name assigned to this variable. Variable numbers can be 2 to NV (NUMVAR) while the name can be an eight-byte character string. Overwrites any existing results for this variable.
ELEM: Element number for which to store results.
Item: Label identifying the item. Valid item labels are shown in Table 193: JSOL - Valid Item and Component Labels below.
Comp: Component of the Item (if required). Valid component labels are shown in Table 193: JSOL - Valid Item and Component Labels below.
Name: Thirty-two character name identifying the item on printouts and displays. Defaults to a label formed by concatenating the first four characters of the Item and Comp labels.

Notes

This command is valid for the MPC184 joint elements. The values stored are for the free or unconstrained degrees of freedom of a joint element. Relative reaction forces and moments are available only if stiffness, damping, or friction is associated with the joint element.
