Element-wise Results

Element-wise result output is requested from the ANSYS program using the 'OUTRES' command in the ANSYS input file.


ANSYS Results FEMVIEW Results
Location Identifier
Integration Points GAUSSIAN
Centroid INVARIANT
Nodes ELEMENTAL
Averaged at Nodes NODAL
Table 2.1: ANSYS-FEMVIEW Results Location Mappings
 

Appendix B contains a list of all the ANSYS element-wise results that can be processed by the interface program. The attribute and component names allocated to the results for use within FEMVIEW are also listed.

It should be noted that ANSYS element-wise results in the result file may be either integration point values extrapolated to the nodes or integration point values moved to the nodes. If there is no integration point coordinate information in the result file then it is not possible to accurately represent results at these integration points.

In general results at integration points are given for non-linear elements, nodal gradient, plastic and creep strain results. If the result file was created with ANSYS version 5.0A or later the interface program will issue a warning if integration point values have been moved to the nodes.
