2. Typing an sd_result

The results (fields and parameters) that can be stored in an sd_resultat are quite variable. For example, the results of a dynamic transient calculation can be speed or acceleration fields, which is not the case for a quasistatic calculation; the results of a thermal calculation can be temperature or heat flow fields.

To distinguish all possible situations, sd_results are typed. For example, we will talk about sd_result of the dyna_tran type for the results of a dynamic transient calculation, evol_noli for a nonlinear, semi-static calculation, evol_ther for a thermal calculation. The sd_results are created by a unique rscrsd [D6.05.01] routine whose source is relatively explicit.

All sd_results regardless of their types are accessible to programming from the same routines [D6.05.01].
