CALCSECTHIST,<infile>,<cutnum>,<pointx>,<pointy>,<pointz>,<normalx>,<normaly>,<normalz>,<rightx>,<righty>,<rightz>,<sysno>,[ts],<outfile>
Calculates forces for a cross-section based on a stress history file. This allows the user to batch the force calculation of a cut for every timestep of the model. The results data will then be written to the outfile.
infile – Full path of the input file for the element center stress history. Similar format Animation list file for prep
cutnum – The cut to be used
pointx – x of point on the original cut plane in global coordinates
pointy - y of point on the original cut plane in global coordinates
pointz - z of point on the original cut plane in global coordinates
normalx – x of the normal of the original cut plane in global coordinates
normaly – y of the normal of the original cut plane in global coordinates
normalz – z of the normal of the original cut plane in global coordinates
rightx – x component of the vector defining the local X axis in global coordinates
righty – y component of the vector defining the local X axis in global coordinates
rightz – z component of the vector defining the local X axis in global coordinates
sysno – the system number where the local system will be stored
ts - timestep for each calculation. If ts ⇐ 0 the integer position in the infile will be used.
outfile – full path of the output file for the force history.
