How do you create a Jobname.OUT file in ANSYS?
How do you create a Jobname.OUT file in ANSYS?
(OP)
ANSYS users,
I have been trying to get the member forces and moments for a Shell99 model in the element coordinate system. According to ANSYS Release 9.9 Documentation for Shell99, member forces and moments in element coordinate can only be obtained using file Jobname.OUT. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to create a .OUT file. I would greatly appreciate this if anyone can instruct me on how to create this .OUT file.
Thanks,
Khoa

ET,1,SHELL99,,,,,,,1
KEYOPT,1,2,0 ! Constant thickness layer input
KEYOPT,1,3,4 ! Integration pt strain, nodal F & M, F & M per unit length
KEYOPT,1,4,0
KEYOPT,1,5,0 ! Strain results will be used
KEYOPT,1,6,0 ! Basic element printout
KEYOPT,1,8,1 ! Store data for bottom of bottom layer & top of top layer
KEYOPT,1,9,0 ! Evaluate strains & stresseds at top & bottom of each layer
KEYOPT,1,10,0 ! No mat prop matices printed
KEYOPT,1,11,0 ! Nodes located at midsurfaces
Note that KEYOPT(1) was set to 0 and KEYOPT(3) was set to 4, which should have output nodal force and moment (nodal force and moment per unit length) printout in element coordinates. Hence, my next question is "how does one goes about specifying the member moment and force output in the jobname.out?"
Thanks,
Khoa
