**process max#

Description#

This post-processor gives the maximal value of the specified variables over the current group of elements (selected by **elset).

Syntax#

**process max \(~\,\) *list_var name1 … nameN [ *localization ] [ *position ] [ *associated var1 … varM ]

*list_var name1, … nameN

are scalar variable names;

*localization

outputs the element/IP where the maximum is reached;

*position

outputs the coordinates where the maximum is reached, note that this requires that the variables gpX, gpY and gpZ have been generated with a **process coordinates as in the example below;

*associated

also outputs the given variables values where the maximum is reached.

Example#

A simple example is:

**process max
 *list_var sig11 sig22

A more elaborate example, featuring all possible options follows:

****post_processing
 ***local_post_processing
  **file integ
  **elset ALL_ELEMENT
  **process mises  *var sig
 ***global_post_processing
  **elset ALL_ELEMENT
  **process coordinates *prefix gp
  **process max
   *list_var sigmises sig33
   *associated sig22
   *localization
   *position
****return

**process min#

Description#

This post-processor gives the minimal value of the specified variables over the current group of elements (selected by **elset).

Syntax#

**process min \(~\,\) *list_var name1 … nameN \(~\,\) [ *localization ] \(~\,\) [ *position ] \(~\,\) [ *associated var1 … varM ]

See the documentation of process max for the meaning of these options.
