ansys.mapdl.core.Mapdl.hrout#

Mapdl.hrout(reimky='', clust='', mcont='', engcalc='', **kwargs)#

Specifies the harmonic analysis output options.

Mechanical APDL Command: HROUT

Parameters:
reimkystr

Real/Imaginary print key:

  • ON - Print complex displacements as real and imaginary components (default).

  • OFF - Print complex displacements as amplitude and phase angle (degrees).

cluststr

Cluster option (for hropt,MSUP):

  • OFF - Uniform spacing of frequency solutions (default).

  • ON - Cluster frequency solutions about natural frequencies.

mcontstr

Mode contributions key (for hropt,MSUP):

  • OFF - No print of mode contributions at each frequency (default).

  • ON - Print mode contributions at each frequency.

engcalcstr

Additional element energies calculation key:

  • NO - Do not calculate additional energies (default).

  • YES - Calculate average, amplitude, and peak values for the following: stiffness and kinetic energies, damping energy, and work done by external loads.

Notes

Specifies the harmonic analysis ( antype,HARMIC) output options. If used in SOLUTION, this command is valid only within the first load step. outpr,NSOL must be specified to print mode contributions at each frequency.

If the calculation of additional energies is requested ( EngCalc = YES) in a mode-superposition harmonic analysis ( Method = MSUP on the hropt command), work done by external loads is not calculated if MSUPkey = YES on the mxpand command. If MSUPkey = NO, work due to element loads is calculated, but not work due to nodal loads.

Only the Reimky argument is supported and applicable for frequency-sweep harmonic analyses using the Krylov or Variational Technology Methods. All other arguments are ignored if the hropt command has been issued with Method = KRYLOV, VT, or VTPA.

This command is also valid in PREP7.
