**process node_extrapolation#

Description#

This post-computation extrapolates integration point data to either the nodes ( format), or to the element nodes ().

Syntax#

**process node_extrapolation \(~\,\) *list_var name1 … nameN [ *output_var o-name1 … o-nameN ] [ *ctele*ctnod ]

*list_var name1, … , nameN

are the scalar variable names to treat. The input data is read in the results files problem.integ. The calculated results are stored in the file problem.ctnodp.

*output_var o-name1 … o-nameN

These output variables are named gpname1, … gpnameN, or o-name1 … o-nameN if they were specified.

*ctele

The output extrapolated results will be stored at each node within every element.

*ctnod (By default)

The output extrapolated results will be stored in nodes (averaged).

Example#

% Generates the variable gpsig11 at nodes
% from the sig11 variable in the .integ file
**file integ
**process node_extrapolation
  *list_var sig11
