Defining the step and requesting output

You can define an explicit step and request output.

Create a single dynamic, explicit step named Drop; set the time period to 0.02 s. Accept the default history and field output requests. In addition, request vertical displacement (U3), velocity (V3), and acceleration (A3) history output every 7 × 10−5 s for each of the three chips.

Tip: Define the history output request for the first chip; using the History Output Requests Manager, copy the request and edit the domain to define the requests for the other chips.

Request history output every 7 × 10−5 s for the logarithmic strain components (LE11, LE22, and LE12) and the principal logarithmic strains (LEP) at the top face (section point 5) of the set BotBoard.
