Interpreting universal dataset 2414

The following tables list how Pre/Post interprets Record Fields based on the analysis type (Record 9, Field 2).

Field 2	Analysis type
0	Unknown
1	Static
3	Normal mode
4	Complex eigenvalue first order
5	Transient
6	Frequency response
7	Buckling
8	Complex eigenvalue second order
9	Static nonlinear
10	Craig-Bampton constraint modes
11	Equivalent attachment modes
12	Effective mass modes
13	Effective mass matrix
14	Effective mass matrix
15	Distributed load load distribution
16	Distributed load attachment modes
17	Static nonlinear cyclic harmonic
18	Static nonlinear axisymmetric harmonic

Each column corresponds to one of the analysis types above. The rows are the fields on records 10-13. Non-empty cells represent fields supported by the Universal File format. The background colors of the cells are fields that Pre/Post interprets with special meaning.

• Load case or step: A unique value indicates that this dataset belongs to this load case or step.

• Iteration: A unique value indicates that this dataset belongs to this iteration within a load case or step or, in some cases, a harmonic index or parent iteration.

• Harmonic index: A unique value indicates that this dataset belongs to this iteration within a load case or step.
