OUTPUT

The OUTPUT command redefines and/or lists the data for an OUTPUT statement.

Format

Arguments

 
GRSAVE
Resaves graphics output in the Graphics file so that you can use a postprocessor to display graphics.
LIST
Lists the current values of the data in the OUTPUT statement.
NOGRSAVE
Stops saving graphics output in the Graphics file.
NOREQSAVE
Stops saving request output in the Request file.
NOSEPARATOR
Respecifies that Adams Solver (C++) is not to write separators to the request, graphics, results, and tabular output files when you modify the model topology in the middle of a simulation. You can change the model topology by using interactive commands to activate an element, deactivate an element, change a marker position, or change the type or point of application of a force or constraint during a simulation.

When this happens, by default Adams Solver (C++) writes a separator and new header to the request, graphics, results, and tabular output files. Adams Solver (C++) then writes subsequent simulation output after the new headers. This ensures that the changes are correctly reflected in the output files, but it creates two sets of output that cannot be plotted or animated continuously. The NOSEPARATOR argument prevents Adams Solver (C++) from breaking up the files by creating a continuous set of output that can be plotted and animated from beginning to end.
Note: This output may be misleading because the Graphics file does not include the effects of any changes in marker, force, or constraint positions during the simulation. While the part motions are correct, the force, joint, and marker graphics remain in their original positions, even if you move them during the simulation.
REQSAVE
Resaves the request output in the Request file so you can use a postprocessor to display x-y plots.
SEPARATOR
Respecifies that Adams Solver (C++) is to write separators to the Request, Graphics, Results, and Tabular Output files when you modify the model topology in the middle of a simulation. SEPARATOR is the default. See NOSEPARATOR for the effects of removing the separators.

Extended Definition

Like the OUTPUT statement, the OUTPUT command controls the generation of the request file and graphics file.
