Analysis Results Step Number

Analysis Results Step Number

The step number varies depending on the type of output case considered. For linear static and response spectrum load cases, this step number is not used.

For nonlinear static load cases, it reports the step number when the step type is Step.

For modal cases, the step number is the mode number.

For buckling cases, the step number is the buckling mode number.

For linear modal history, nonlinear modal history, linear direct integration history, and nonlinear direct integration history cases, the step number reports the time in seconds when the step type is Time.

For steady state and power spectral density load cases, the step number is the frequency in Hz when the step type is Real at Freq, Imag at Freq, or Mag at Freq."

Release Notes

Changed nomenclature from Load Cases, Analysis Cases and Response Combinations to Load Patterns, Load Cases and Load Combinations, respectively, in version 12.00.
