Notes: 1. ID lines may not be blank. If no information is required, the word "NONE" must appear in columns 1-4. 2. The data is store in "node-layer-data charateristic" format. Loc1 layer1 component1, Loc1 layer1 component2, ... Loc1 layer1 componentN, Loc1 layer2 component1, ... Loc1 Layer2 componentN, ...Loc1 layerN componentN Loc2 layer1 component1, ...Loc2 layerN componentN LocN layer1 component1, ...LocN layerN componentN 3. For complex data there will be 2*NDVAL data items. The order is real part for value 1, imaginary part for value 1, real part for value 2, imaginary part for value 2, etc. 4. The order of values for various data characteristics is: 3 DOF Global Vector: X, Y, Z 6 DOF Global Vector: X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry, Rz Symmetric Global Tensor: Sxx, Sxy, Syy, Sxz, Syz, Szz Shell and Plate Element Resultant: Fx, Fy, Fxy, Mx, My, Mxy, Vx, Vy 5. ID line 1 always appears on plots in output display. 6. If result type is an "UNKNOWN" type, id line 2 is displayed as data type in output display. 7. Data Characteristic values (Record 9, Field 3) imply the following values Of NDVALDC (Record 9, Field 6) Scalar: 1 3 DOF Global Vector: 3 6 DOF Global Vector: 6 Symmetric Global Tensor: 6 General Global Tensor: 9 Shell and Plate Resultant:8 Since this value can also be derived from the Results Type (Record 9, Field 4), this is redundant data, and should be kept consistent. Some data was kept for compatibility with older files. 8. No entry is NOT the same as a 0. entry: all 0s must be specified. 9. A direct result of 8 is that if no records 14 and 15 appear for a node or element, this entity has no data and will not be contoured, etc. 10. Dataloaders use the following id line convention: 1. (80A1) MODEL IDENTIFICATION 2. (80A1) RUN IDENTIFICATION 3. (80A1) RUN DATE/TIME 4. (80A1) LOAD CASE NAME For static: 5. (17H LOAD CASE NUMBER;, I10) For normal mode: 5. (10H MODE SAME, I10, 10H FREQUENCY, E13.5) 11. For situations with reduced # DOF'S, use 6 DOF translation and rotation with unused values = 0. 12. The integer associated data "number retained" will =0 unless the result set is created by sorting for extremes. The maximum number of values to retain is 6. 13. For Harmonic\Fourier results data associated with Analysis types: 17: Static non-linear cyclic harmonic 18: Static non-linear axisymmetric harmonic(Fourier) The sign for the Harmonic Index value (record 10, field 5) will indicate whether this dataset contains cosines or sine values: Harmoinc Index >0 cosine data Harmoinc Index <0 sine data Dataset class: Data on ply elementsRecord 14: FORMAT (4I10) Field 1: -- Element number Field 2: -- Ply Layer ID for this element Field 3: -- Ply Layer position (0 = unspecified, 1= bottom, 2= middle, 3= top) Field 4: -- Number of data values for this element(NDVAL)Record 15: FORMAT (6E13.5) Fields 1-N: -- Data on element(NDVAL Real Or Complex Values) Note: Records 14 and 15 are repeated for all ply element pairs.

For Distributed Load Load Disribution and Distributed Load Attachment modes, the "time step number" slot is used for the Load Set ID for the Distributed Loadand the "frequency number" slot is set to -1.
