***global_post_processing

Description

This command is used to define “global” post processing treatments to apply over sets of nodes and integration points. Global post processors produce global values saved in the file problem.post and/or in local (field) variables in the node or integration point files. This distinction is indicated by the sign \(^{\rm G}\) for global variable producing processors, and \(^{\rm L}\) for local variable producing processors. The reason for the distinction is that file data will be loaded in a manner which may be less efficient than the local post processing methods.

Syntax

***global_post_processing [ **deformed ] GLOBAL OPTION [ **elset eset ] [ **file file-key ] [ **ipset ipset ] [ **material_file fname ] [ **nset nset ] [ **output_number out-num-list ] [ **process type ] \(~\,\) … [ **undeformed ] GLOBAL OPTION

The different sub-options define the geometrical groups of concern, the time period, materials files, and the post treatments themselves. The majority of these options are exactly the same as for ***local_post_processing. The following additional options are relevant to the global post processing.

**deformed

Use the mesh in its deformed configuration. Use the mesh in its undeformed configuration.

**underformed

The following global post computations are available in the current release:
