Probe

This keyword is used to specify the MHARNESS® simulation output. There are four associated second level keywords. These keywords are listed below:

The tstart, tstop, and tstep descriptors can be specified using a real or integer format. If a real format is used, then the descriptors refer to the actual computation time. The real value of tstep must be greater than or equal to the simulation time increment dt. If an integer format is used, then the descriptors refer to the time iteration index, in steps of dt. If the integer tstep is not specified, then a value of 1 is used. If both integer values of tstop and tstep are not specified, then the last time iteration, itmax is used with a tstep value of 1.

The loci descriptor can be specified using a real or integer format. If a real format is used, then the descriptor refers to the distance from end1 of the conductor. If an integer format is used, then the descriptor refers to the number of cells from end1.

Note: the output file name should be 80 characters or less with no spaces or other characters that might interfere with computer file naming conventions.

This keyword (CABLE VOLTAGE) is used to specify a conductor voltage output. The variable descriptors are similar to those defined above for the CABLE CURRENT output

This keyword (RADIATED FIELD) specifies the computation of radiated electromagnetic fields from the exposed segments of the cable system. To specify the location where radiated fields are desired requires coordinate information. The use of coordinate information requires precise cable conductor geometric information. Therefore, the use of this keyword requires all conductors to be defined using the SEGMENT/COMPLEX or the SEGMENT/COMPLEX2 keyword combination pair. For radiated electromagnetic field computations the z-coordinate must be greater than zero.

If desired, additional lines of text (group_info_text_linei) within the radiated field output file can be specified. These lines will follow any lines of text specified with the GENERAL INFO keyword or any lines resulting from the specification of an OUTPUT UNIVERSAL HEADER.

If no additional lines of text are desired, then the required input file text line format is:

The tstart, tstop, and tstep descriptors can be specified using a real or integer format. If a real format is used, then the descriptors refer to the actual simulation time. The real value of tstep must be greater than or equal to the simulation time increment dt. If an integer format is used, then the descriptors refer to the time iteration index, in steps of dt. If the integer tstep is not specified, then a value of 1 is used. If both integer values of tstop and tstep are not specified, then the last time iteration, itmax is used with a tstep value of 1.

Note: The output file name should be 80 characters or less with no spaces or other characters that might interfere with computer file naming conventions. The additional file header information provided by the optional descriptor, group_info_text_line, should be 80 characters or less. The z-coordinate must be greater than zero.
