-
EXTRA OUTPUT FRAME
-
Include this parameter if you want to request an additional output frame when the value
specified with the LIMIT parameter
is reached.
Set
EXTRA OUTPUT FRAME=YES
to write the requested field-type output to the output database when the value
specified with the LIMIT parameter
is reached. The output is written at the increment following the one in which the
limit value is reached.
Set
EXTRA OUTPUT FRAME=NO
(default) to prevent writing any additional output when the value specified with the
LIMIT parameter is reached.
-
HALT
-
Include this parameter if you want the analysis or the current step to stop when the
value specified with the LIMIT
parameter is reached.
Set
HALT=ANALYSIS
to stop the analysis completely when the value specified with the
LIMIT parameter is reached.
Set
HALT=STEP
to conclude the current step and continue to the next step when the value specified
with the LIMIT parameter is reached.
- INVARIANT
-
This parameter can be used only in conjunction with the OPERATOR parameter to indicate that you want to filter and/or operate on
the invariant of the element or nodal output field variable.
Set INVARIANT=FIRST to apply the filtering to the first invariant.
Set INVARIANT=SECOND to apply the filtering to the second invariant.
Set INVARIANT=MAXP to apply the filtering to the maximum principal stress or
principal strain.
Set INVARIANT=INTERMP to apply the filtering to the intermediate principal stress or
principal strain.
Set INVARIANT=MINP to apply the filtering to the minimum principal stress or
principal strain.
See
Output to the Output Database
for more information.
- LIMIT
-
Include this parameter if you want to set a limit (cap value) to the output
variables.
This parameter must be used in conjunction with the OPERATOR parameter.
- OPERATOR
-
This parameter can be used with or without the TYPE parameter. When it is used with a filter type, it will operate
on filtered data; and when it is used without a filter type, it will operate on
raw (unfiltered) data.
Set OPERATOR=MAX if you want to obtain the maximum value for the variables for
which this filter is used. You can put a cap value on the maximum value by
using the LIMIT parameter.
Set OPERATOR=MIN if you want to obtain the minimum value for the variables for
which this filter is used. You can put a cap value on the minimum value by
using the LIMIT parameter.
Set OPERATOR=ABSMAX if you want to obtain the absolute maximum value for the
variables for which this filter is used. You can put a cap value on this value
by using the LIMIT parameter.
- START CONDITION
-
This parameter must be used with the TYPE parameter.
Set START CONDITION=DC (default) to pre-charge the filter with constant values equal
to the first raw data value.
Set START CONDITION=USER DEFINED to pre-charge the filter with constant values equal to the
user-defined value.
- TYPE
-
Set TYPE=BUTTERWORTH (which is the default value when OPERATOR is omitted) to define a Butterworth filter.
Set TYPE=CHEBYS1 to define a Type I Chebyshev filter.
Set TYPE=CHEBYS2 to define a Type II Chebyshev filter.
