OTF File Programs

OTF file programs

The following programs retrieve information from an OTF file.

Mass info

Added mass at end of analysis Prints the mass added to the analysis by mass-scaling at the end of the analysis. This will also look at otf files generated from restarts (otf01, otf02 etc)
Added mass at start of analysis Prints the mass added to the analysis by mass-scaling at the start of the analysis.
Percentage final added mass Prints the percentage mass added to the analysis by mass-scaling at the end of the analysis. This will also look at otf files generated from restarts (otf01, otf02 etc)
Percentage initial added mass Prints the percentage mass added to the analysis by mass-scaling at the start of the analysis.
Total mass in analysis Prints the mass of the model at the start of the analysis

Timestep info

Mass-scaled timestep (DT2MS) echo in OTF file Prints the DT2MS value from the *CONTROL_TIMESTEP card echoed to the OTF file.
Smallest initial timestep

Prints the element with the smallest timestep from the 100 smallest timesteps. The line has the form:
<element_type> <element_number> timestep = <timestep>

Timing info

Elapsed time for analysis Prints the total elapsed time for the analysis.
Start time for analysis Prints the date and time that the analysis finished.
Problem cycle for analysis Prints the cycle in the analysis that the problem terminated.
Problem time for analysis Prints the time in the analysis that the problem terminated.
Start time for analysis Prints the date and time that the analysis started (same as Analysis date).
Terminition time(ENDTIM) echo in OTF file Prints the termination time from the *CONTROL_TERMINATION card echoed to the OTF file. This will also look at otf files generated from restarts (otf01, otf02 etc).

Other OTF programs

Analysis date Prints the date and time that the analysis started
Analysis precision Prints the precision (single/double) Ansys LS-DYNA used for the analysis
Analysis title Prints the title of the analysis echoed to the OTF file.
CPU time for analysis Prints the total CPU time used for the analysis. This will also look at otf files generated from restarts (otf01, otf02 etc)
Check on the quality of the run Looks to see if the analysis terminated normally, if the initial and final added masses, the total energy fluctuation and hourglass energy are below (user definable) limits. Either prints OK or NOT OK.
Hostname analysis run on Prints the hostname of the machine the analysis was run on.
Ansys LS-Dyna version and revision Prints the version and revision of Ansys LS-DYNA used to run the analysis
Normal or Error termination message Prints Normal or Error termination message from Ansys LS-DYNA.
Number of CPUs used for analysis Prints the number of CPUs used for the analysis
OS analysis run on Prints the operating system level of the machine the analysis was run on.
Platform analysis run on Prints the platform of the machine the analysis was run on.
