Global archiving is an option to save selected calculated results in a single file. This section explains how to use this feature.

Introduction

In MPM calculations, the solution is stored in a series of archive files. You can optionally create a global results file which will store selected calculated result such as average stress, total energy, etc., in a single text file. This file can plotted latter in NairnFEAMPM or in NairnFEAMPMViz or can be opened later any spread-sheet software. The file is tab delimited with time (in msec) in the first column and all requested results in subsequent columns.

Input Commands

The GlobalArchive and GlobalArchiveTime commands selects which analysis results are saved in the global results file and how often they are saved:
