All design responses always consist of one single scalar value.
So although you reference a node or element group in the Although Tosca Structure
can handle more load cases within one
design response, it is best practice to use one design response for
each load case. This is done with the item
Most entities have default values. Note:
For design responses that are based on nodal or element values (for example, displacement or
stresses) and use
GROUP_OPER = MAX | MIN , it is possible to log the node or
element with the maximum or minimum value, respectively. For this, define a copy of the desired
design response with a different ID, but not reference it in the # OPTIMIZE command. Then, the
TOSCA.out file contains the node or element information in addition to the design response
value. Be aware that for large models, this might have an impact on the performance as well as
storage sizes. |
