presol

Results.presol(item='', comp='', **kwargs)

Prints the solution results for elements.

Mechanical APDL Command: PRESOL

Parameters:

itemstr

Label identifying the item. Valid item labels are shown in the table below. Some items also require a component label.

compstr

Component of the item (if required). Valid component labels are shown in the table below.

Notes

presol prints the solution results for the selected elements in the sorted sequence.

For example, presol,S prints the stress items SX, SY, SZ, SXY, SYZ, and SXZ for the node locations of the element. Various element results depend on the calculation method ( avprin ).

Component results are in the global Cartesian coordinate directions unless transformed ( rsys ).

Shell elements print values at the top, then bottom of the element (or layer). If KEYOPT(8) = 2 (for SHELL181, SHELL208, SHELL209, SHELL281, or ELBOW290 ), the results are printed in the order TOP, BOT and then MID of each element, (or layer). The MID value is the actual value to the results file.

Items are listed as columns of a table versus element number. An exception occurs for item ELEM, which uses an element format (where all applicable line element results are listed per element) instead of a tabular format.

You can issue force to define which component of the nodal load is to be used (static, damping, inertia, or total).

To print items not available via presol (such as line element results), see etable and pretab.

For PowerGraphics ( graphics,POWER), results are listed only for the element surface. Items not supported by PowerGraphics are noted in PRESOL - General Result Item and Component Labels.

The results printed by presol are unaffected by any requested nodal-averaged results ( outres,NAR). For more information, see Nodal-Averaged Results

For Item = SRES, selected result components ( osresult ) are output. See PRESOL - Selected Result Component Labels.
