29.3.1. Printing of the Expanded Input Data List for each Data Category

By default, the printing of the expanded input data list for each data category is output to the listing file at the end of the three data record image input Stages (1, 2, 4). Default output is therefore

For a run of Stages 1 to 5 - Output of expanded data list for Data Categories 1 to 18

For a run of Stages 2 to 5 - Output of expanded data list for Data Categories 6 to 18

For a run of Stages 3 to 5 - No output

For a run of Stages 4 to 5 - Output of expanded data list for Data Categories 9 to 18

For a run of Stage 5 - No output

PRDL - Print Data List from Backing File

When a restart is performed, by default, the expanded data list is NOT output for the previous stages, which have already been performed. This option requests that the expanded data list for all data categories for previous stages be printed. This option is normally used to confirm that the correct backing files have been assigned for a particular analysis.

NODL - No Data List

Switching off Output of All Data Categories

The user may switch off all output of expanded data by using the NODL option, see below on how this behavior may be modified with additional options. Note that output involving calculations, for example calculation of the mass and inertia of the structure, will still be output.

Switching of Output Flag for a Single Data Category

The user may switch the output flag of a single data category by including the name of the data category keyword in the options list. The function will depend on whether the NODL option is present or not:

  • If the NODL option is not present in the options list, the expanded data list for that data category will be switched off.

  • If the NODL option is present in the options list, the expanded data list for that data category will be switched ON again.

For example, the user may switch off the output for one or more data categories by including the data category keyword(s) and not using the NODL option or the user may switch off all but the output for one or more data categories by including the data category keyword(s) and the NODL option.

As the data category keyword may be dependent on the structure number, the data category keywords used in the options list are as follows:

Data Category 1 - COOR
Data Category 2 - ELEM
Data Category 3 - MATE
Data Category 4 - GEOM
Data Category 5 - GLOB
Data Category 6 - FDRN
Data Category 7 - WFSN
Data Category 8 - DRCN
Data Category 9 - DRMN
Data Category 10 - HLDN
Data Category 11 - ENVR
Data Category 12 - CONS
Data Category 13 - SPEC
Data Category 13N- WAVE
Data Category 14 - MOOR
Data Category 15 - STRT
Data Category 15D - STRT
Data Category 15N - STRT
Data Category 16 - TINT
Data Category 16B - LMTS
Data Category 16L - GMCH
Data Category 17 - HYDC
Data Category 18 - PROP
