OSRESULT

OSRESULT, Item, Comp, Freq, Cname
Controls the selected result data written to the database.

SOLUTION: Misc Loads

Item

Item to output to the database. See Table 210: OSRESULT - Item and Component Labels.

Comp

Component of Item to output to the database. See Table 210: OSRESULT - Item and Component Labels.

Freq

Frequency to output to the database.

*`n`*	—	Writes every `n`th and last substep of each load step.
*`-n`*	—	Writes up to `n` equally spaced substeps of each load step.
ALL	—	Writes every substep.
LAST	—	Writes the last substep of each load step (default).

Cname

The name of an element component (CM) defining the set of elements for which this specification is active. If not specified, the set is all elements.

Notes

OSRESULT controls output to the results database for the selected result defined by the item and component combination. The command activates output of the selected result for the specified substeps and elements. Multiple commands for the same result are cumulative. No selected results are written to the database unless specified via OSRESULT.

The saved selected quantities are accessible via standard postprocessing commands (ANSOL, ETABLE, ESOL, PLESOL, PLNSOL, PRESOL, and PRNSOL).

OSRESULT,ERASE deletes the existing output specifications.

OSRESULT,STATUS lists the current set of selected result specifications.

The output of selected results is valid for static (ANTYPE,STATIC) and transient (ANTYPE,TRANS) analysis types.

To select other results to output to the database, see OUTRES. (Element quantities specified via OUTRES can be redundant to those specified via OSRESULT. Avoid specifying redundant quantities, as they are stored and processed separately.)

All OSRESULT results are in the solution coordinate system.

This command is also valid in PREP7.

Example 10: Specifying and Retrieving Selected Result Output

/SOLU
OUTRES,ALL,NONE        ! Here we want only selected results output,
                       !   so we suppress solution-result data written
                       !   to the database via OUTRES.

! Issue OSRESULT to specify selected results.
OSRESULT,S,Y,ALL       ! Item = S,    Comp = Y
OSRESULT,S,EQV,ALL     ! Item = S,    Comp = EQV
OSRESULT,EPPL,INT,ALL  ! Item = EPPL, Comp = INT
...

/POST1
! When issuing postprocessing commands to retrieve selected
!   results (SRES), specify ItemComp (Item + Comp combined) 
!   from OSRESULT.
PRESOL,SRES,SY   
PRESOL,SRES,SEQV
PRNSOL,SRES,EPPLINT
