FEA Design Responses

Structure for the design response tuple = ("DesignResponse Name", "Value"). "DesignResponse Name" defines the reference name for the design response being specified. This string will be used in the FEA input directly. The "Value" must be a JSON String dictionary (see Section JSON String Dictionary). In Nastran the DesignResponse Name will be the LABEL used in the DRESP1 input. For this reason the user should keep the length of this input to a minimum number of characters, ideally 7 or less.

• DRESP1 ID LABEL RTYPE PTYPE REGION ATTA ATTB ATT1
