Global resultants and time steps

$

Hi,

 

Following on from Unecessarily repeated first time step

 

As part of QA we use the Global resultants in the *rpt file to check load balances.

 

This is particularly important in the 2 cases where

  • inertial loads are applied as these cannot be 'previewed' using the  REVIEW TOTAL LOAD function
  • pressure loads are applied to complicated surfaces where it may be easier to miss a surface or two (not withstanding the less refined integration of pressure when using REVIEW TOTAL LOAD)

 

 

We match these numbers together with measures against freebody diagrams.

 

These useful numbers appear at the end of a design study.

 

If one uses timesteps then these numbers appear only after the last timestep.

 

These global resultants are missing from ALL intermediate timesteps.

 

I have looked in the familiar *.res file but no joy.

 

There are no measures I can create.

 

How can Simulate be persuaded to produce these numbers for each timestep?

 

Is there a development config option?

 

Is this another enhancement request?

 

Thanks
