Data Components

The data components that will be available in D3PLOT will depend on which case control output statements were in the input file. The following statements are supported:

DISPLACMENT(PLOT)
VELOCITY(PLOT)
ACCELERATION(PLOT)
THERMAL(PLOT)

STRESS(PLOT)
STRAIN(PLOT)
FORCE(PLOT)
ESE(PLOT)
EKE(PLOT)
EDEL(PLOT)

SPCFORCE(PLOT)
