<YES, ALL,

YES, ALL, blank: |
Multi-point force of constraint vector is output for all grids. |
| Default = ALL |
NO, NONE: |
Multi-point force of constraint vector is not output. |

When an MPCFORCE command is not present, multi-point force of constraint vector is not output.
Only formats that have been activated by an OUTPUT or FORMAT command are valid for use on this card.
Multiple formats area 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.
Multiple instances of this card are allowed; if instances are conflicting, the last instance dominates.
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 use; this method is still supported, but not recommended as it does not allow different frequencies for different formats.
