OUTGEOM
OUTGEOM, Item,
Freq
Controls geometry-related data written to the results file.
ItemGeometry data item for file write control:
FreqSpecifies how often to write the specified geometry data:
NONE
—
Suppress writing of the specified item for all substeps.
ALL
—
Write the data of the specified item for every substep.
Notes
The OUTGEOM command controls writing of the specified geometry
Item to the results file. The geometry items correspond to the
geometry records that are included in the results file (see the GEO records of the results file
as described in Results File Format in the Programmer's Reference).
The command generates a specification for controlling data storage by either activating
storage of the specified geometry item (Freq = ALL) or by suppressing
storage of that item (Freq = NONE).
You can issue multiple OUTGEOM commands in an analysis. After the initial
command creates the storage specification, subsequent OUTGEOM commands
modify the specification set. The command processes your specifications in
the order in which you input them. If you specify a given Item twice,
output is based upon the last specification.
In addition to OUTGEOM, OUTPR and OUTRES also control solution output. You can issue up to 50 of these output-control commands (any combination of the three) in an analysis.
OUTGEOM,ERASE erases the existing output specifications and resets the counted number of OUTGEOM commands to zero.
Important: When material property information is not written to the results file (OUTGEOM,MAT,NONE), clearing the database via /CLEAR and reading in a set of data in the general postprocessor (/POST1) via the SET command results in no material property data being stored in the database. In this case, the lack of material data prevents a successful solve from occurring with the modified database, and the results file is only applicable for carrying out post-processing.
