Evaluate Response Results dialog box

This evaluation type is available only for Random and Frequency events.

Requested Results
Requested Results	Specifies the types of results to evaluate:Displacement****Acceleration Strain EnergyElement ForceVelocityStressStrain****Shell ResultantNote: The result types available depend on the output requests you enabled in the structural output request for the solution. For more information, see Define Response Dynamics result types.
Spring Force Evaluation Option
Evaluate using Displacements	Lets you compute the spring force using the relative node displacements, element stiffness, and damping.
Response Node orResponse Element
Appears as Response Element if Requested Results is set to Stress, Strain, Element Force or Strain Energy.
Select Node /Select Elements	Lets you select nodes or elements on the model where you want to generate response results.
Labels	Lets you add nodes or elements to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Node Selection/Edit Element Selection .
Method
Method	Determines the response domain and resolution for evaluation. Select from these options:Start/End Point (Available for Transient and Quasi-Static events) — Lets you evaluate a subset of your response by specifying the output start time, output end time, and decimation order.Note: This method is not available for Frequency events defined by uneven excitation functions.From Function Plot — Lets you select points on your plotted function as the range of the response to evaluate. If you choose this method, you should use two or more view ports: use one view port to display the model and select nodes and elements for evaluation and the second view port to display the XY graph and select the points.Natural Frequency (available for Frequency events) — Lets you select a frequency to evaluate from a list of the active normal mode frequencies (within the range of your excitation functions) in the solution.
Point Value
Available when Method is set to From XY Graph.
Natural Frequency	The normal mode frequency you selected on the Select Natural Frequency dialog box, at which the evaluation will be performed.
From XY Graph	The value of the point on the XY graph that you selected.
Select natural frequency	Opens the Select Natural Frequency dialog box, where you can select a natural frequency from the list of solved normal mode frequencies (of the normal modes specified as Active) that are within the frequency range of your excitation functions.
Select graph points	Lets you select a data point on the plotted XY graph.
Evaluation Domain by Range
Available when Method is set to Start/End Point.
Output Start Point	Enter a data point value to designate as the beginning time or frequency of the evaluation segment. If you do not specify a start time (or frequency), the default is the first time unit or frequency in the current event.Note: The software adjusts output start and end values automatically to follow actual points obtained from the associated excitation functions. For example, if the excitation functions start at time 1.0, the Output Start Point is adjusted to 1.0. If the excitation function end point is at 20 seconds, the Output End Point is adjusted to the closest value based on the Decimation Order. In making this adjustment, the software also considers the event's Duration. For example, if the event duration is 30 seconds, but the excitation functions only extend to 20 seconds, the Output End Point may be adjusted to 30 seconds.
Output End Point	Available when Definition Method is set to Start/End Point. Enter a data point to designate the end of the evaluation segment. The default end point is the last time or frequency unit in the current event.
Decimation Order	(Optional) Available when Definition Method is set to Start/End Point.Reduces the number of stress/strain data points used in the evaluation. The reduction is based on an order of decimation that preserves the first data point in the function and every nth point thereafter, deleting the rest. The default decimation order is 1, meaning that every data point will be used; a value of 2 means that every other point is used, and so on.
Number of Points	Displays the number of points currently selected, based on the Output Start Point, Output End Point, and Decimation Order.
Description
Description	A description of the evaluation. This text appears with the list of results in the Information window if you right-click the result set in the Simulation Navigator and choose Information.
Preview
Result	The result type for which to generate the preview. Available types correspond to the Result Type check boxes you have selected at the top of the dialog box.
Evaluation Point	The step to preview in the event.
Data Component	The direction component in which to preview the evaluation.
Beam Element	If you are evaluating stress or strain for beam elements, select the stress recovery point on the beam cross section where you want to recover response results. The letters C, D, E, and F correspond to the four stress recovery points on a typical beam section.
Shell Element Layer	For shell elements, select the region over which the stress and strain should be calculated: Top or Bottom.
Show Result	Displays the results as a contour plot based on the settings you specified above in the Preview group.
