The PATRAN 2 Neutral File Preference includes a generic element results template, p2nf_els.res_tmpl. This template is modeled after the PATRAN 2 element stress results file template. Typically this template is located in the directory $P3_home/res_templates. The following documents the results file contents expected by the generic element results template.
Record | Description |
Record 1 | TITLE, NWIDTH |
Record 2 | SUBTITLE 1 |
Record 3 | SUBTITLE 2 |
Record 4 to N+3 | ID, NSHAPE, (VAL(J), J=1 TO NWIDTH) |
Record N+4 | ID = 0 or end-of-file |
Record | Description (Format) |
Record 1 | TITLE
(80A1) |
Record 2 | NWIDTH
(I5) |
Record 3 | SUBTITLE 1
(80A1) |
Record 4 | SUBTITLE 2
(80A1) |
Record 5 to NNODES+4 | ID, SHAPE, (VAL(J), J =1 TO NWIDTH)
(2I8, /, (6E13.7)) |
where the parameters are:
Parameter | Description |
TITLE | Title (up to 80 characters) |
SUBTITLE 1 | Same format as TITLE. |
SUBTITLE 2 | Same format as TITLE. |
NWIDTH | Number of columns of data (integer) |
ID | Element ID (integer) |
NSHAPE | Essential shape code (BAR = 2, TRI = 3, QUAD = 4, TET = 5, PYR = 6, WEDGE = 7, HEX = 8; integer) |
VAL(J) | Result value(s) (real) |
The generic element results template is defined such that NWIDTH = 20 where the columns 1 - 6 are labeled as “Generic Tensor 1,” columns 7 - 12 as “Generic Tensor 2” and columns 13 - 20 as “Scalar 1,” “Scalar 2,”...”Scalar 8,” respectively. The intent of providing this format for the generic elements results template is not to force a particular results file format but rather provide an illustration as to how an element results file template can be defined to describe a results file format containing both tensor and scalar results.
