Output of the energy balance

Each of the energy quantities can be requested as output and can be plotted as time histories summed over the entire model, particular element sets, individual elements, or as energy density within each element. The variable names associated with the energy quantities summed over the entire model or element sets are as listed in Table 1.

Variable Name	Energy Quantity
ALLIE	Internal energy, $E_{I}$ : ALLIE = ALLSE + ALLPD + ALLCD + ALLAE + ALLDMD + ALLDC + ALLFC.
ALLKE	Kinetic energy, $E_{K E}$ .
ALLVD	Viscous dissipated energy, $E_{V}$ .
