Comments
1. Available names are listed in the two tables above.
In the first table, TH-variables are listed. If a TH-variable is requested, this variable is
written.
In the second table, other variable groups are listed. If a variable group is requested,
all the associated TH-variables are written at once.
The strain tensor variables EPSXX, EPSYY, EPSZZ, EPSXY, EPSZX, and EPSYZ are only
2. available with HEPS or PA6 (thick shell) and 8, 10, 16, 20 nodes brick and HA8.
3. SX, SY ... are the stress tensor components expressed in the global skew frame.
LSX, LSY ... are the stress matrices expressed in the local skew (only available if
4. Isolid =1, 2 and 12).
Local skew means the co-rotational frame in case of an isotropic law.
Local skew means the orthotropic system in case of an orthotropic law (Law 14, 24 or
28).
SXi, SYi, and SZi ... are the stress matrices expressed in the global skew per
integration point (only available with 8 node bricks and Isolid = 12 for (i =1,8) or 10
5. node tetrahedrons for (i =1,4)).
LSXi, LSYi, and LSZi ... are the stress matrices expressed in the local skew per
6. integration point (only available with 8 node bricks and Isolid =12).
Local skew means the co-rotational frame in case of an isotropic law.
Local skew means the orthotropic system in case of an orthotropic law (Law 14, 24 or
28).
SXijk, SYijk, SZijk, SXYijk, SYZijk, ... EPijk are the stress tensor and plastic strains on
7. each integration point in the global skew. Available for brick with 16 and 20 nodes.
Stresses and plastic strain are available per integration point using SX1j1, SY1j1,
8. SZ1j1, SXY1j1, SYZ1j1, ... EP1j1. This output is in local element frame.
 SXiUk, SYiUk, SZiUk, SXYiUk, SXZiUk, SYZiUk, EPiUk, SXiDk, SYiDk, SZiDk, SXYiDk,
SXZiDk, and SYZiDk are the stress tensor and plastic strains on upper and lower skin
(Dfor lower skin and U for upper skin) in the global skew. Available for Brick with 16
9. and 20 nodes.
USR1_ijk, USR2_ijk, ... USR9_ijk are the output for the user variables for the material
10. user’s law on each integration point. Available for brick with 16 and 20 nodes.
12. SX, SY ... are the stress tensor components expressed in the global skew frame.
LSX, LSY … are stress tensors components expressed in the global skew frame for the
13. global formulation or in the co-rotational skew frame for the co-rotational formulation.
14. E11_ik_J: component of strain matrix in their local frame (bricks for /PROP/TYPE22).
15. S11_ik_J: component of stress matrix in their local frame (bricks for /PROP/TYPE22).
16. OFF:
0.0 deleted element
1.0 active element
2.0 (shells / solids): active element using small strain
Negative value -1/-2 when the element is on standby due to rigid body
Some intermediate values can be found during few cycles before element deletion
(progressive reduction of off during a few cycles applies as a multiplicative factor to the
stress, so that the stress is progressively vanished and element is deleted after ~ 10
cycles). This process applies to some element types, but not all.
