A Finite Element Program (FECGS): Post-Processor FEPOST - GKSS

3.9. *PARAMETER: GENERATING A TABULAR LIST 39
3.9.5 *SUM EVOL: Calculating or summing the material volume
Command *SUM EVOL, a suboption of *PARAMETER command, is used for calculating or
summing the material volume defined by element sets.
The following parameters are optional:
ELSET Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set in which material
volume is calculated. By default, FEPOST calculates the whole material
volume.
DEFORM Set this parameter equal to YES if material volume has to calculate in
the deformed configuration.
RECORD Set this parameter equal to YES if element volume has been recorded.
Otherwise FEPOST will calculate element volume by itself.
NAME Set this parameter equal to the name of the calculated value to be appear
in the tabular list. The default is NAME=TEVOL.
Format Entry
The following data line is required if material volume include several element sets:
nA ELSET1, ELSET2, . . . ELSETn. Enter all the element set
names. Each line can have maximum 8 element sets.
Repeat the above line as often as needed to enter more element sets.
Examples:
1. Use the following entry to calculate the material volume of the element set E1.
*SUM EVOL,ELSET=E1,NAME=EVOL1, DEFORM=YES
2. Use the following entry to calculate the whole material volume.
*SUM EVOL, RECORD=YES
3. Use the following entry to calculate the whole material volume.
*SUM EVOL,NAME=EVOL
