I/O Options and Subcase Information Entry

ESE - Output Request

Description

The ESE command can be used in the I/O Options or Subcase Information sections to request strain energy and strain energy density output for all subcases or individual subcases respectively.

Format

ESE (format) = option

Argument

Option

Description

format

<HM, H3D, PUNCH,
OUTPUT2, blank>

HM:

Results are output in HyperMesh results format (.res file).

Default = blank

H3D:

Results are output in Hyper3D format (.h3d file).
 

PUNCH:

Results are output in Nastran punch results format (.pch file).
 

OUTPUT2:

Results are output in Nastran output2 format (.op2 file).  
 

blank:

Results are output in all active formats for which the result is available.  

 

option

<YES, ALL, NO,
NONE, SID>

YES, ALL, blank:

Element strain energy and strain energy density for each eigenvector or static subcase is output to the .res or .h3d file for all elements.

Default = ALL

 

NO, NONE:

Element strain energy and strain energy density is not output.
 

SID:

If a set ID is given, element strain energy and strain energy density for each eigenvector or static subcase is output to the .res or .h3d file, only for elements listed in that set.

Comments

  1. When an ESE command is not present, element strain energy and strain energy density is not output.

  2. Initial thermal strain is included in the calculation of strain energy and strain energy density.

  3. Only formats that have been activated by an OUTPUT or FORMAT command are valid for use on this card.

  4. Multiple formats are allowed on the same entry; these should be comma separated. If no format is specified, then this output control applies to all formats defined by OUTPUT or FORMAT commands for which the result is available. See Results Output by OptiStruct for information on which results are available in which formats.

  5. Multiple instances of this card are allowed; if instances are conflicting, the last instance dominates.

  6. For optimization, the frequency of output to a given format is controlled by the I/O option OUTPUT. In previous versions of OptiStruct, a combination of the I/O options FORMAT and RESULTS were used; this method is still supported, but not recommended as it does not allow different frequencies for different formats.
