*SUBSTRUCTURE OUTPUT

Output the solution in the substructure usage analysis.

This option is used to output the solution at all of the substructure degrees of freedom in the substructure usage analysis. The full set of the substructure's degrees of freedom is formed by the retained nodal degrees of freedom and the generalized degrees of freedom associated with the substructure dynamic modes. Output of the solution at the generalized substructure degrees of freedom is not supported by other Abaqus output options.

This option can be used with a transient dynamic Abaqus/Standard analysis (DYNAMIC option).

Optional parameters

ELSET
Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set that contains all substructure-type elements where you want to output the solution. If this parameter is omitted, the output is performed for all substructures in the model.
FORMAT
Set FORMAT=OP4 to output the substructure solution in the Output4 text format that can be used, for example, by the MSC Nastran finite element solver from MSC.Software Corporation or by the AVL EXCITE™ flexible body dynamics solver from AVL LIST GmbH.

Set FORMAT=SIM (default) to output the substructure solution on SIM, which is a high-performance database available in Abaqus.
