ascres

AnalysisOptions.ascres(opt='', **kwargs)

Specifies the output type for an acoustic scattering analysis.

Mechanical APDL Command: ASCRES

Parameters:

optstr

Output option:

• TOTAL - Output the total pressure field (default).

• SCAT - Output the scattered pressure field.

Notes

Use the ascres command to specify the output type for an acoustic scattering analysis.

The scattered option ( Opt = SCAT) provides a scattered pressure output, p:sub:sc, required for calculating target strength (TS).

The default behavior ( Opt = TOTAL) provides a sum of the incident and scattering fields, p ^total = p ^inc + p ^sc.

Issue the awave command to define the incident pressure p ^inc. If the awave command is defined with Opt2 = INT, only the total pressure field is output regardless of the ascres, Opt command.
