*DESIGN RESPONSE

Specify responses for design sensitivity analysis.

This option is used to write the sensitivities in a design sensitivity analysis. The use of this option depends on the type of design sensitivity analysis: direct or adjoint.

For a direct design sensitivity analysis, this option is used to write the sensitivities of contact, element, nodal, and/or eigenmode responses to the output database. The CONTACT RESPONSE, ELEMENT RESPONSE, and/or NODE RESPONSE options can be used in conjunction with this option in a direct design sensitivity analysis.

For an adjoint sensitivity analysis, this option is used to write the design response and sensitivities of global, element, or nodal responses to the output database. The GLOBAL RESPONSE, ELEMENT RESPONSE, or NODE RESPONSE option must be used in conjunction with this option in an adjoint design sensitivity analysis.
