**results

Description

The **results command indicates that the parameter will be read in from a Zebulon FEA results file (**changing is a deprecated alias for the **results parameter).

Syntax

The syntax required is:

**results param-name [ *node ] [ *ip ] \(~\,\) *file_base fname

param-name

a character string name for the parameter. This name will be used to reference the parameter values elsewhere in the problem.

*file_base

enter fname a file name prefix for the results files. The first file of concern is file-prefix.catalog, which lists the initial and final times for the file inputs (presumably from another time step of a mechanical problem, see below). Binary files for the beginning of the problem, start of an increment and end of an increment are: file-prefix.first file-prefix.initial file-prefix.final The current increment should be within the time bounds given in the catalog file.

Example

The following is an example of temperature values imposed with a table parameter.

***parameter
  **results temperature
   *node
   *file_base MechTherm/temp_out
