Note: Regarding the information of the monitoring node specified in this line, the displacement is output to the file <dyna_disp_NID.txt>, where NID is the global ID of the monitoring node, and each line includes the step number, time of the step, NID, u1, u2, and u3 in this order. The velocity and acceleration are also output to <dyna_velo_NID.txt> and <dyna_acce_NID.txt>, respectively, in the same format as the displacement. The nodal strain is output to <dyna_strain_NID.txt> and each line includes the step number, time of the step, NID, e11, e22, e33, e12, e23, and e13 in this order. The nodal stress is output to <dyna_stress_NID.txt> and each line includes the step number, time of the step, NID, s11, s22, s33, s12, s23, s13, and s_mises in this order. When monitoring nodes are specified by a node group, each of the files stated above is separately output for each node. When this output is specified, the kinetic energy, deformation energy and the overall energy of the overall analytic model will also be output to <dyna_energy.txt>.
