OUTPUT=3D option

Good morning,

I am reading the golden rules of the Calculix model, and would like to know in which point of the input file I have to include this commnad:


In which point of my .inp file do I include it?

Thank you very much!

In the *NODE FILE keyword (the one used to write displacements and other nodal outputs to .frd file with results) within the *STEP definition (usually almost right before *END STEP since output requests are typically the last part of a step definition).

I Included this:

However I cannot see the 3D version, that is why I asked, because I think I am doing something wrong

Thank you very much!

You have to add it to the keyword, not data line:

*NODE FILE, OUTPUT=3D

Oh okay! I didn’t know the difference between keyword and data line!
Thank you very much @Calc_em
