Output requests in superelements (Simcenter Samcef)

When you create a superelement, you can specify output requests to be computed when the superelement will be used or recovered. No result is computed during the creation solve.

You can request classical structural results or time history curves.

Structural requests

You can request structural Output Requests such as stress or strain tensors, composite results, or forces and moments. You can also manually define your own User Code results.

Note:

These results will be computed only during the recovery solve.

For more details, see Result codes in superelement creation analysis (Simcenter Samcef).

Time history curves requests

Time history curves that monitor specific results inside a superelement:

• You select Internal Node Time History results curves. You can select displacements, velocities, and accelerations.For more details, see Time history graphs: superelement internal node results (Simcenter Samcef).

• You can select Internal Element Time History results curves. You can select stress tensors or Von Mises criteria on shells, membranes, or solids. You can select normal and shear stresses on beams.For more details, see Time history graphs: superelement internal element results (Simcenter Samcef).

Note:

These time history curves will be computed when you use the superelement in the solution and when you select the Generate Nodal/Elemental Results on Superelements option in the Output page of that solution.

They are only available if the solution is Nonlinear.
