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.
