gst#

NonlinearOptions.gst(lab='', runtrack='', **kwargs)#

Enables the Graphical Solution Tracking (GST) feature.

Mechanical APDL Command: /GST

Parameters:
labstr

Enables or disables the GST feature:

  • ON - Enable

  • OFF - Disable

runtrackstr

Enables or disables .GST file viewing in the Results Tracker utility:

  • ON - Enable

  • OFF - Disable (default)

Notes

For interactive sessions using the GUI ( menu,ON), GST directs solution graphics to the screen.

For interactive sessions not using the GUI ( menu,OFF), or for batch sessions, GST saves solution graphics to the Jobname.GST file. To create a Jobname.GST file that is compatible with the Results Tracker utility (available via the Mechanical APDL Product Launcher ), issue gst,ON,ON.

You can use the GST feature for these nonlinear analysis types: structural, thermal, electric, magnetic, fluid, and diffusion.

For more information about GST and illustrations of the GST graphics for each analysis type, see the analysis guide for the appropriate discipline.
