SECTION FILE: Define results file requests of accumulated quantities on
user-defined surface sections.
This option is used to control output to the results file of accum ulated quantities associated with a user-defined
section. Depending on the analysis type the output may include one or severa l of the following: the total force,
the total moment, the total heat flux, the total cu rrent, the total mass flow, or the total pore flui d v olume flux

Required parameters:
NAME
Set this param eter equal to a label that will be used to identify the output for the section. Section
names in the same input file must be unique.
SURFACE
Set this parameter equal to the name used in the
*
SURFACE option to define the surface.
Optional parameters:
AXES
Set AXES=LOCAL if output is desired in the local coordinate system. Set AXES=GLOBAL
(default) to output quantities in the global coordinate system.
FREQUENCY
Set this parameter equal to the output frequency, in increments. The output will always be printed
at the last increm ent of each step unless FREQUENCY=0. The default is FREQUENCY=1. Set
FREQUENCY=0 to suppress the output.
UPDATE
Set UPDATE=NO if output is desired in the origina l loc al system of coordinates. Set
UPDATE=YES (default) to output quantities in a local system of coordinates that rotates with the
