Notes
Damping energy (DENE) and work done by external loads (WEXT) are available only if the following were set prior to the analysis solution:
EngCalc
= YES on the trnopt, hrout or mxpand command; andItem
= VENG, ESOL, or ALL on the outres command.If
EngCalc
= YES on the hrout or mxpand command,Item
= SENE and KENE are the average potential and kinetic energies, respectively.
