structure node list command

Syntax

structure node list keyword <range>

Primary keywords:

apply    connectivity    damping-local    displacement    fixity    unbalanced-force    link    mass    position    stiffness    system-local    system-surface    velocity

Show information about structural element nodes in the range.

apply <keyword>

list values of applied conditions on the node. One of the following keywords can be supplied to specify which apply condition is listed.

force

applied force on the node in the local system. This is the default if no keyword is specified.

moment

applied moments on the node in the local system

connectivity

lists the component-id numbers of all elements that are connected to this node

damping-local

local-damping factor of the node

displacement <keyword>

list both the translation and rotational (angular) displacements of the node. The following keywords, if present, allow the selection of the coordinate system these are displayed in:

global

displays values in the global coordinate system

local

displays values in the local coordinate system; this is the default if not specified

fixity

velocity fixity in terms of nodal local coordinate system

unbalanced-force

unbalanced force and moment is displayed in terms of the nodal local coordinate system

link

lists the component-id numbers of any links that are attached to the node

mass

translational and rotational (angular) components are displayed in terms of the nodal local coordinate system

position <keyword>

position of the nodes in the range. There are two different position values possible; the following keywords (if present) allow you to select which position is displayed. By default, the reference position is used.

current

the current position of the node, which is updated from the starting (or reference) position even in small strain mode

reference

the reference position of the node, which is updated only in large-strain mode. In small-strain mode, this is the starting location of the node and does not change.

stiffness

translational and rotational (angular) components are displayed in terms of the nodal local coordinate system

system-local

the directions of the local coordinate system used by the nodes are displayed

system-surface

the directions of the surface coordinate system used during stress recovery are displayed. This is calculated with the structure shell recover surface, structure geogrid recover surface, or structure liner recover surface commands.

velocity <keyword>

translational and rotational (angular) velocities are in terms of the global or nodal local (default) coordinate systems. The following keywords, if present, allow the selection of the coordinate system these are displayed in:

global

displays values in the global coordinate system

local

displays values in the local coordinate system; this is the default if not specified
