- y
\(y\)-component of the vector.
- z (3D Only)
\(z\)-component of the vector.

.

on
, the returned number is the base 10 log of the absolute value of the original value. The default isoff
.
- method
This specifies the method of calculation used to bring zone-based quantities to arbitrary locations in space (including at gridpoint positions).
- constant
Assume values are constant inside zones. This is the default option. Values at gridpoints or at zone boundaries will pick one adjacent zone to use.
- average
This uses an volume weighted average of all the zones connected to the gridpoint.
- inverse-distance-weight
This uses an weighted average of up to 32 zones in the immediate vicinity of the point. The weighting is determined by a power of the distance of the zone centroid from the specified point.
- power f
Specify the power of the distance used to weight values. The default power is 3.0.
- radius-ratio f
Specify the ratio of the maximum distance from the point of the zones selected, to the ratio used to calculate weighted values. Zones farther from this value are discounted. The default value is 0.75.
- polynomial <tolerance f > (3D Only)

.
- name s
Certain keywords (most notably
property
) require a name value to be fully specified. This will determine the specific property name retrieved.
- null
Specify the criteria used to ignore zone values. By default,
mechanical
null zones are ignored.

- intermediate
Intermediate principal stress.
- maximum
The maximum (most positive) value of principal stress. Note that in FLAC compressive stresses are negative.
- mean
The mean pressure value, defined as the trace of the tensor divided by 3. For stresses this is most often referred to as the pressure.
- minimum
The minimum (most negative) principal stress. Note that in FLAC compressive stresses are negative.

.
- gridpoint
Values are retrieved directly from the gridpoint.
- zone
Values are retrieved from the zone.
- stress b
A few of the tensor type
quantity
options do different things depending if the value is considered a stress. When coming from a value likeextra
, this cannot be determined automatically. This allows the user to specify that the incoming tensor value should be considered a stress quantity.
- type keyword
In certain cases the type (scalar, vector, or tensor) of the value cannot necessarily be determined ahead of time. Extra variables, for example, can hold values of all three types. This keyword allows one to specify which type it is assumed to be. If the original value type does not match, 0.0 is returned.
- scalar
A scalar float type. This is the default.
- vector
A vector type.
- tensor
A tensor type.

Specify the velocity limit used to determine if an object is stable or not for the
factor-of-safety
value. The default value is1e-4
