How to get Peak Response (only) for Sine Vibe Analysis
How to get Peak Response (only) for Sine Vibe Analysis
(OP)
Hi Folks,
I am trying to find a way to get NASTRAN to output just the peak response for element force for a sine vibe analysis (sol 111). If I use the straight FORCE(print) = case control card I get the forces at each frequency which I then have to find the max of manually. Or I can use XYPEAK to get the max/min results, but as far as I know that requires a separate XYPEAK card for every DOF for every element (and I have thousands of elements). There has to be a better way, doesn't there?
Thanks,

I'm now thinking the only way to get the peaks alone is to write an ALTER file. Has anyone done this with nastran's output modules?
