file fea_loads write

Allows you to export FEA load information in your model from Adams View after a simulation completes. This technique does not require you to set up requests before the simulation.

Parameter
Type
Description
marker_name
Existing marker (required)
Only for rigid body. This parameter is mutually exclusive to the flexible body name. It specifies name of existing marker on rigid body which all load information will be relative.
flexible_body_name
Existing flexible body (required)
This parameter is mutually exclusive to the marker name. It specifies name of existing flexible body and all load information will be relative to the origin of the flexible body.
analysis_name
Existing analysis (required)
Specifies the name of the analysis.
file_name
String (required)
Specifies the name of the file that is to be written.
header
String (Optional)
Only for adams_fem file format. It specifies the strings of the header written in the exported file.
no_inertia
yes/no
Select to write inertia loads in addition to external loads or not. Inertia loads include linear acceleration, angular acceleration, and angular velocity of the flexible body. Reaction loads include applied and reaction forces acting on the body. The default is yes (Inertia loads are not included).
node_id
Integers (Optional)
Specifies node IDs to assign to the load points and it’s useful for rigid body because no node ID is defined at each markers. For flexible body, Adams View automatically assigns node IDs to the load points based on the actual node IDs of the flexible body at these load locations.
locations
Locations (Optional)
Specified the locations corresponding to node IDs above to find out the marker which has the same location. The number of locations and node IDs have to be identical.
start_time
Real (Optional)
Only for DAC/RPC file format. It specifies the start time to be written. The default is 0.0.
end_time
Real (Optional)
Only for DAC/RPC file format. It specifies the end time to be written. The default is the end time of the analysis.
time
Reals (Optional)
For other than DAC/RPC file format. It specifies the times separated by commas (,) to be written. All time steps are written if leave this blank.
tolerance
Real (Optional)
For other than DAC/RPC file format. It specifies the time range to write loads at each times above. For example, if you requested output at time steps 2 and 5 with a tolerance of 0.1, Adams View write for all output steps between 1.9 and 2.1 and 4.9 and 5.1. The default value is 0.0 and the loads at times are only written.
format
ansys/nastran/abaqus/adams_fem/dac/rpc/marc
Select the file format for the loads file that you want Adams View to write. The default is adams_fem.

Extended Definition:

The proper extension is the default, but you can override it by supplying a different extension. It is not necessary to enclose the file name in quotes if it only contains alphanumeric characters and starts with a letter. If you want to include other characters, such as a '.' for an extension or '/' or '[]' for directory paths, you must enclose the file name in quotes.
