Nodal Results Block

To access the data use “ds”. This command is also used to modify or create datasets. Values at nodes can be written with the “node” command.

Purpose: Stores values on node positions

       ICIND1 = sub-component index or row number
       ICIND2 = column number for ICTYPE=4
       IEXIST = 0  data are provided
                1  data are to be calculated by predefined
                   functions (not used)
                2  as 0 but flaged by cgx
       ICNAME = Name of the predefined calculation (not used)
                ALL  calculate the total displacement if ICTYPE=2
This record must be repeated for each entity.

4. Type of Record:  (not used)
This record will be necessary in combination with the request for 
predefined calculations. This type of record is not allowed in
combination with binary coding of data.
Format:(1X,I2,2I5,20I3) 
Values: KEY,IRECTY,NUMCPS,(LSTCPS(I),I=1,NUMCPS)
Where: KEY    = -6
       IRECTY = Record variant identification number
       NUMCPS = Number of components
       LSTCPS = For each variant component, the position of the
                corresponding component in attribute definition


5. Type of Record:
The following records are data-records and the format is repeated
for each node.

In case of material independent data

- ascii coding:
Following records (ascci, FORMAT=0 | 1):
 Short Format:(1X,I2,I5,6E12.5)
 Long Format:(1X,I2,I10,6E12.5)
 Values: KEY, NODE, XX..
 Where: KEY  = -1 if its the first line of data for a given node
               -2 if its a continuation line
       NODE  = node number or blank if KEY=-2
       XX..  = data

- binary coding:
 Following records (ascci, FORMAT=2):
 (int,NCOMPS*float)
 int and float are ansi-c data-types
 Following records (ascci, FORMAT=3):
 (int,NCOMPS*double)
 int, float and double are ansi-c data-types
 Values: NODE, XX..
 Where:
       NODE   = node number
       XX..   = data

In case of material dependant data
REMARK: Implemented only for NMATS=1
- first line:
Short Format:(1X,I2,4I5)
Long Format:(1X,I2,I10,3I5)
Values: KEY, NODENR, NMATS
Where: KEY    = -1
       NODENR = Node number
       NMATS  = Number of different materials at this node(unused)
- second and following lines:
Short Format:(1X,I2,I5,6E12.5)
Long Format:(1X,I2,I10,6E12.5)
Values: KEY, MAT, XX, YY, ZZ, XY, YZ, ZX ..
Where: KEY    = -2 
       MAT    = material-property-number if KEY=-2 (unused)
       XX..   = data

  
Last Record (only FORMAT=0 | 1 (ascii), omitted for FORMAT=2):
