Data Preparation
Maximum values of displacements and largest equivalent stress, equivalent total strain, equivalent plastic strain
and equivalent creep strain, where appropriate, are also given.
4.4.3
Analysis Summary
The following information is given at the end of a run:
DATA MANAGER TAIL SHEET
A complete listing of system control parameters is given. These, in general, are controlled using the SYSTEM
and SYSPAR commands in the Preliminary data. The information may be used to monitor the efficiency of the
analysis. This information is intended only for the experienced user. The checkpoint number of the datamanager file for a default archive on the last load increment is also given.
FILE STATUS
The status and disposition of all backing files accessed and created is given. The status is NEW for a virgin file
or OLD for an existing one. The disposition is OPEN, CLSE (closed) or DEL (deleted). DEL files have been
successfully deleted and CLSE files closed and saved.
MAIN RUN PARAMETERS
Listings of the main program parameters such as number of nodes and elements in the model are given.
Solution characteristics such as number of accumulated iterations and maximum frontwidth are also given.
4.4.4
Journal Files
Two journal files are printed during an ASAS-NL run. The first file, called pnamJF (pnam is the project name),
contains a summary of the run information of all the runs in the project. The second file, called INCRJF,
contains condensed information about the main analysis, enabling the user to monitor interactively the
incremental iterative solution process. File INCRJF is normally deleted at the end of the analysis but it may be
saved using option SAVJ.
4.4.5
ASASNL Output Markers
Certain values which are helpful for either the assessment or control of the analysis are periodically output by
ASASNL. To help find them using text editors, they are marked by a character string **nnnnnnnn, in columns 1
to 10, where nnnnnnnn is an indicative keyword.
