PRESOL
PRESOL, Item, Comp
Prints the solution results for elements.
ItemLabel identifying the item. Valid item labels are shown in the table below. Some items also require a component label. For selected result output, specify SRES and see Table 222: PRESOL - Selected Result (SRES) Component Labels.
CompComponent of the item (if required). Valid component labels are shown in the table below.
Notes
PRESOL prints the solution results for the selected elements in the sorted sequence.
For example, PRESOL,S prints the stress items SX, SY, SZ, SXY, SYZ, and SXZ for the node locations of the element. Various element results depend on the calculation method (AVPRIN).
Component results are in the global Cartesian coordinate directions unless transformed (RSYS).
Shell elements print values at the top, then bottom of the element (or layer). If KEYOPT(8) = 2 (for SHELL181, SHELL208, SHELL209, SHELL281, or ELBOW290), the results are printed in the order TOP, BOT and then MID of each element, (or layer). The MID value is the actual value to the results file.
Items are listed as columns of a table versus element number. An exception occurs for item ELEM, which uses an element format (where all applicable line element results are listed per element) instead of a tabular format. An exception also occurs for the section results of beam- and pipe-based elements, which use a different fixed format and do not change with the /FORMAT specifications of the command.
You can issue FORCE to define which component of the nodal load is to be used (static, damping, inertia, or total).
To print items not available via PRESOL (such as line element results), see ETABLE and PRETAB.
For PowerGraphics (/GRAPHICS,POWER), results are listed only for the element surface. Items not supported by PowerGraphics are noted in Table 221: PRESOL - General Result Item and Component Labels.
The results printed by PRESOL are unaffected by any requested nodal-averaged results (OUTRES,NAR). For more information, see Nodal-Averaged Results in the Element Reference.
For Item = SRES, selected result
components (OSRESULT) are output. See Table 222: PRESOL - Selected Result (SRES) Component Labels.

[a] The results for this postprocessing SEND component are invalid for ELBOW290 if that element is used with viscoelastic or viscohyperelastic materials.
[b] Not supported by PowerGraphics.
[d] USR1 through USR9 require a failure-criteria routine.
[e] No vector sum is calculated for coupled
pore-pressure-thermal (CPTnnn) elements.
[g] Do not use PRESOL to obtain contact forces for contact elements, as the force values reported may not be accurate for these elements. Use ETABLE instead.
[h] For reinforcing elements REINF264 and REINF265, issue PRESOL,BFE,TEMP to print the intersection-point temperature of each member. You can also print intersection-point temperature gradients (PRESOL,TG) and intersection-point heat flux (PLESOL,TF). For higher-order reinforcing members (generated when using higher-order base elements), the midpoint values are not available for the reinforcing members.
[j] WEXT is calculated for element-based loading only (and not for nodal-force loading). WEXT is stored on elements to which loading has been applied; if surface elements are added on top of other elements, for example, and pressure loading is applied to the surface elements, WEXT is available for the surface elements only.
