Controls the selected result data written to the database.

Mechanical APDL Command: OSRESULT

Parameters:

itemstr

Item to output to the database. See OSRESULT - Item and Component Labels.

compstr

Component of Item to output to the database. See OSRESULT - Item and Component Labels.

• n - Writes every n th and last substep of each load step.

• -n - Writes up to n equally spaced substeps of each load step.

• ALL - Writes every substep.

Notes

osresult controls output to the results database for the selected result defined by the item and component combination. The command activates output of the selected result for the specified substeps and elements. Multiple commands for the same result are cumulative. No selected results are written to the database unless specified via an osresult command.

osresult,ERASE deletes the existing output specifications.

osresult,STATUS lists the current set of selected result specifications.

The output of selected results is valid for static ( antype,STATIC) and transient ( antype,TRANS) analysis types.

To specify other results to output to the database, see outres.

Element quantities specified via outres can be redundant to those specified via osresult. Avoid specifying redundant quantities, as they are stored and processed separately.

This command is also valid in PREP7.
