4.3 Supported T16/T19 Results Quantities
The following table indicates all the possible result quantities which can be loaded into the Patran database from the t16 file. The Primary and Secondary Labels are items selected from the postprocessing menus. The Type indicates whether the results are Scalar, Vector, or Tensor. These types will determine which postprocessing techniques will be available in order to view the results quantity. Postcodes indicates which MSC.Marc element postcodes (selected automatically or by MD Nastran Bulk Data entry MARCOUT) the data comes from. The Description gives a brief discussion about the results quantity. The Output Request forms use the actual primary and secondary labels which will appear in the results. For example, if “Strain, Elastic” is selected on the Element Output Requests form, the “Strain, Elastic” is created for postprocessing.
