SOL 600 - Output requests

[rskumar88]

Hello all,

I am trying to simulate progressive failure analysis of composites using SOL 600. I am post processing the Marc T16 file in patran for the results. I am using displacement controlled load. So I need to have the "costraint forces" data to plot my results. But, in SOL 600 I am not able to see the "Constraint Forces, Translational" in the results. How can I get it ? Thanks.

Hi rskumar88,

In your input file (.bdf, .dat...) check if:

-SPCFORCES(PLOT,SORT1,REAL)=ALL is present
-PARAM,NOCOMP,YES is not defined, if this is the case remove it.
