You can also specify whether to use the surface data or the surface data in conjunction with the interior data. Averaged data is used with the PLNSOL and PRNSOL commands. Unaveraged data is used with the PLESOL and PRESOL commands. The averaging scheme used for the “Surface and Interior data” selection will yield stress contours that are similar to those obtained in the Full Model Graphics mode or in PowerGraphics with the AVRES,,FULL command option. The data obtained with the “Surface data only selection will be the same as the data obtained using PowerGraphics with the default AVRES command option (using only the exterior element faces). Interior data can be obtained only when nodal data averaging is enabled. This function cannot be changed if you plan to append your PGR file. Interior model data - This selection actually saves the interior results data for subsequent displays using slicing, capping, vector display, or isosurface display techniques (see the /TYPE, /CTYPE, and PLVECT commands). The data that is saved when this item is selected can be displayed on the model or ported to data tables and listings. This function cannot be changed if you plan to append your PGR file. Stresses can only be displayed in the coordinate system that was active when the PGR file was written. If you wish to use the results viewer to view stresses in other coordinate system displays, you must reload your results file (*.RST, *.RFL, *.RTH, *.RMG, etc.) in POST1, in that coordinate system. 5.5.3. PGR Commands The ANSYS PGR file uses the following commands to create and access the PGR data: Solution Commands PGWRITE, POUTRES, and AVRES. Postprocessing Commands POUTRES, PGSAVE, PGRAPH, PGRSET, PLESOL, PLNSOL, PLTRAC, and PLVECT. 5.6. Obtaining the Solution To initiate the solution, use one of the following: 112 Command(s): SOLVE Release 13.0 - © SAS IP, Inc.

GUI: Main Menu> Solution> Current LS or Run FLOTRAN Because the solution phase generally requires more computer resources that the other phases of an analysis, it is better suited to batch (background) mode than interactive mode. The solver writes output to the output file (Jobname.OUT) and the results file. If you run the solution interactively, the output "file" is actually your screen (window). By using one of the following before issuing SOLVE, you can divert the output to a file instead of the screen: Command(s): /OUTPUT GUI: Utility Menu> File> Switch Output to> File or Output Window Data written to the output file consist of the following: • Load summary information • Mass and moments of inertia of the model • Solution summary information • A final closing banner that gives total CPU time and elapsed time. • Data requested by the OUTPR output control command or its GUI counterpart In interactive mode, much of the output is suppressed. The results file (.RST, .RTH, .RMG, or .RFL) contains all results data in binary form, which you can then review in the postprocessors. Another useful file produced during solution is Jobname.STAT, which gives the status of the solution. You can use this file to monitor an analysis while it is running. It is particularly useful in iterative analyses such as nonlinear and transient analyses. The SOLVE command calculates the solution for the load step data currently in the database. 5.7. Solving Multiple Load Steps There are three ways to define and solve multiple load steps: • Multiple SOLVE method • Load step file method • Array parameter method. 5.7.1. Using the Multiple SOLVE Method This method is the most straightforward. It involves issuing the SOLVE command after each load step is defined. The main disadvantage, for interactive use, is that you have to wait for the solution to be completed before defining the next load step. A typical command stream for the multiple SOLVE method is shown below: /SOLU ... ! Load step 1: D,... SF,... 0 SOLVE ! Solution for load step 1 ! Load step 2 F,... SF,... ...

Data to save on file - From this location, you can designate whether to store averaged data or averaged<br />
plus unaveraged nodal data. You can also specify whether to use the surface data or the surface data in<br />
conjunction with the interior data. Averaged data is used with the PLNSOL and PRNSOL commands. Unaveraged<br />
data is used with the PLESOL and PRESOL commands.<br />
The averaging scheme used for the “Surface and Interior data” selection will yield stress contours that are<br />
similar to those obtained in the Full Model Graphics mode or in PowerGraphics with the AVRES,,FULL<br />
command option. The data obtained with the “Surface data only selection will be the same as the data obtained<br />
using PowerGraphics with the default AVRES command option (using only the exterior element<br />
faces). Interior data can be obtained only when nodal data averaging is enabled. This function cannot be<br />
changed if you plan to append your PGR file.<br />
Interior model data - This selection actually saves the interior results data for subsequent displays using<br />
slicing, capping, vector display, or isosurface display techniques (see the /TYPE, /CTYPE, and PLVECT commands).<br />
The data that is saved when this item is selected can be displayed on the model or ported to data<br />
