Display values every 'n' increments

[bharathn]

Hey guys, this is probably a really simple issue:

I currently output displacements every iteration, but I want to change this to outputting every 5 iterations for example. How would I do that?

batch
 dt,,0.1
 loop,time,11
   time
     loop,,100
        tang,,1
     next
 tang,,-1
 output TANG
 form
 disp all
 SAVE restart
 next Time
end

Regards,

I think I have found it:
I just insert the time within another loop for say 2 increments.

It seems to work.

batch
 dt,,0.1
 loop,,6
 loop,time,2
   time
     loop,,100
        tang,,1
     next
 next
 tang,,-1
 output TANG
 form
 disp all
 SAVE restart
 next Time
end

How about using a nested loop?
Some like:

Code: [Select]

loop,,100
  loop,,5
    time
    loop,,10
      tang,,1
    next
    disp,all
  next
next
This will give you 500 time steps, printing every 5 time steps.

Dear Professor,

Yes this is what I have done. I think I posted this right after I posed my question. Thanks a lot for taking the time out to respond :-)
