Results codes in structural analyses (Simcenter Samcef Structure)

Depending on the type of Simcenter Samcef solution, you can request to output specific results when you solve your Simcenter Samcef model. To do this, you create output request modeling objects:

• Structural Linear Output Requests

• Structural Modal Output Requests

• Structural Buckling Output Requests

• Structural Nonlinear Output Requests

• Structural Dynamic Response Output Requests

• Linear Transient Output Requests Nodal 9xxx

• Linear Harmonic Output Requests Nodal 9xxx

You add results to your model by selecting Simcenter Samcef Families of codes. For more information on these families of codes, how to filter them, and how to use them, see Families of results in structural and thermal output requests (Simcenter Samcef).

The following tables list the available results and their equivalent Simcenter Samcef codes for structural analyses.

Note:

In the output requests dialog boxes, the Simcenter Samcef default codes are selected by default. For example, for a linear static analysis, force reaction and torque reaction are Simcenter Samcef default outputs. Thus, in the output requests dialog box, the Enable Force Reaction check box and the Enable Torque Reaction check box are selected.
