PRVECT
PRVECT, Item, Lab2, Lab3, LabP
Prints results as vector magnitude and direction cosines.
ItemPredefined vector item (from Table 225: PRVECT - Valid Item and Component Labels below) or a label identifying the i-component of a user-defined vector.
Lab2Label identifying the j-component of a user-defined vector. In most cases, this value must be blank if
Itemis selected from Table 225: PRVECT - Valid Item and Component Labels. Individual principal stresses (Item= S) or principal strains (Item= EPxx) may be printed by specifying the value as 1, 2, or 3.Lab3Label identifying the k-component of a user-defined vector. Must be blank if
Itemis selected from list below or for 2D user defined vector.LabPLabel assigned to resultant vector for printout labeling (defaults to
Item).
Notes
Prints various solution results as vector magnitude and direction cosines for the selected
nodes and/or elements. For example, PRVECT,U prints the displacement magnitude
and its direction cosines for all selected nodes. For nodal degree of freedom vector results,
direction cosines are with respect to the results coordinate system RSYS. For element results,
direction cosines are with respect to the global Cartesian system. Item components may be printed
with the PRNSOL command. Various results also depend upon the recalculation
method and the selected results location (LAYER, SHELL,
NSEL, and ESEL). Items may be selected from a set of
recognized vector labels (Item) or a vector may be defined from up to
three scalar labels
(Item,Lab2,Lab3).
Scalar labels may be user-defined with the ETABLE command.
Portions of this command are not supported by PowerGraphics (/GRAPHICS,POWER).

| Item | Comp | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Valid item labels for nodal degree of freedom vector results are: | ||
| U | Structural displacement vector magnitude and direction cosines. | |
| ROT | Structural rotation vector magnitude and direction cosines. | |
| V | Velocity vector magnitude and direction cosines. | |
| A | Magnetic vector potential vector magnitude and direction cosines. | |
| Valid item labels for element results are: | ||
| S | Principal stresses and direction cosines. | |
| EPTO | Principal total strains (EPEL + EPPL + EPCR) and direction cosines. | |
| EPEL | Principal elastic strains and direction cosines. | |
| EPPL | Principal plastic strains and direction cosines. | |

Lab2 is blank, Item is interpreted as one of the predefined
labels; otherwise, Item is interpreted as a user-defined ET label and the
program requests a non-blank Lab2/Lab3
according to the dimension of the problem. | |

| JT | Total measurable current density vector sum and direction cosines in low-frequency electromagnetic analyses. (Conduction current density vector sum and direction cosines in a low-frequency electric analysis.) | |
