list_info linear_mode_shapes

List the mode shapes for the model's bodies and equations for a linear analysis made during the simulation.

Format:

 
list_info linear_mode_shapes
eigen_solution_name =
an existing eigen
accuracy =
integer
normalize =
on/off
brief =
on/off
write_to_terminal =
on/off
file_name =
string specifying the file path

Example:

 
list_info linear_mode_shapes &
eigen_solution_name =
eigen_1 &
accuracy =
10 &
normalize =
off &
brief =
on &
write_to_terminal =
off &
file_name =
"C:\info.txt"

Description:

 
Parameter
Value Type
Description
eigen_solution_name
AN EXISTING EIGEN
Specifies an existing eigen_solution.
accuracy
INTEGER
Specify number of digits after the decimal point.
normalize
ON_OFF
Specifies whether to use the normalize procedure on mode shapes.
brief
ON_OFF
Specifies whether to use the brief form (default) or an extended form of the requested information to be displayed.
write_to_terminal
ON_OFF
Specify if the information requested is to be sent to the informational window or not.
file_name
STRING
Specify that the information requested is to be sent to a file with the name specified with the parameter.

Extended Definition:

1. The object type and ID number of all the objects in the mode shape are given, followed by the coordinates of the object's mode shape, labeled with the coordinate's name.
2. You may identify a eigen_solution by typing its name. Specifies an EIGEN_SOLUTION in a existing analysis. If an eigen_solution is available by default, you may identify it by entering its name only. The EIGEN_SOLUTION must be in an existing analysis that is associated to an existing model. Therefore, any reference to the EIGEN_SOLUTION can include the model and analysis name. For example, assume you have read a result file called "SECOND_GEAR.RES", and this result file contains the analysis "SECOND_GEAR". If you wish to refer to the EIGEN_SOLUTION named "EIG1" for the model "TRANSMISSION", enter .TRANSMISSION.SECOND_GEAR.EIG1 (the .TRANSMISSION.SECOND_GEAR. may be omitted if SECOND_GEAR is the current default analysis_name). SECOND_GEAR refers to the analysis name that the result set came from (or is stored under).
The eigen_solution name begins with the letters EIG and ends with the eigen_solution ID number. You must separate multiple eigen_solution names by commas. If the eigen_solution is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
3. The ‘write_to_terminal’ parameter is most likely be used in conjunction with the FILE_NAME parameter to get the information put to a file only.

Tips:

1. If you type a "?", Adams View will list the eigen_solutions available by default.
