*OUTPUT

HISTORY

Include this parameter to indicate that the output requests used in conjunction with the *OUTPUT
option will be written to the output database as history-type output.

Optional parameters:

FREQUENCY

Set this parameter equal to the output frequency, in increments. The output will always be written to
the output database at the last increment of each step. Set FREQUENCY=0 to suppress the output.

If this parameter and the NUMBER INTERVAL, TIME INTERVAL, and TIME POINTS

parameters are omitted, output will be written at every increment of the analysis for all procedure
types except *DYNAMIC and *MODAL DYNAMIC; output will be written every 10 increments
for these procedure types.

The FREQUENCY, NUMBER INTERVAL, TIME INTERVAL, and TIME POINTS

parameters are mutually exclusive.

MODE LIST

Include this parameter to indicate that a list of eigenmodes for which output is desired will be listed
on the data lines. This parameter is valid only in a *FREQUENCY, *COMPLEX FREQUENCY,
or *BUCKLE procedure, and if the FIELD parameter is included.

NUMBER INTERVAL

Set this parameter equal to the number of intervals during the step at which the output database
states are to be written.

If this parameter and the FREQUENCY, TIME INTERVAL, and TIME POINTS parameters

are omitted, output will be written at every increment of the analysis for all procedure types except

*DYNAMIC and *MODAL DYNAMIC; output will be written every 10 increments for these
procedure types.

The FREQUENCY, NUMBER INTERVAL, TIME INTERVAL, and TIME POINTS

parameters are mutually exclusive.

TIME MARKS

Set TIME MARKS=YES (default) to write results at the exact times dictated by the NUMBER
INTERVAL, TIME INTERVAL, or TIME POINTS parameter.

Set TIME MARKS=NO to write results to the output database at the increment ending

immediately after the time dictated by the NUMBER INTERVAL, TIME INTERVAL, or TIME
POINTS parameter.

TIME POINTS

Set this parameter equal to the name of the *TIME POINTS option that defines the time points at
which output is to be written.

If this parameter and the FREQUENCY, NUMBER INTERVAL, and TIME INTERVAL

parameters are omitted, output will be written at every increment of the analysis for all procedure
