Calculate results at user defined points – during Map3D BEM analysis.
Analysis results can be calculated at user defined coordinate locations.
When you select MSCALC, you will be prompted for a data file name and the desired output format as follows.
Data file format:
The data file contains is simply a text file (*.txt) with a list of the coordinate locations where the results are to be calculated.
The format of this file requires one set of coordinates per line
x1 y1 z1
x2 y2 z2
x3 y3 z3
x4 y4 z4
...
where xi yi zi represent the coordinates of each point.
Output file format:
Results are written back to the same data file with x y z coordinates followed by user specified parameters

Effective/Total effective stress or total stress components. These options are only used in Map3D Thermal-Fluid Flow, as this code allows for calculation of steady state pore pressure distributions.
Induced/Absolute Induced stress is the stress without the pre-mining stress contribution. This represents the stress change since the pre-mining condition. Absolute stress is the stress including the pre-mining stress contribution.

Miscellaneous:
matl# the number of the material within which the point is located. The host material is material number 1. In problems where multiple materials are used, results may be calculated in an alternate material zone.
step# the mining step number.
Other:
Cartesian configures for output of cartesian stress components.
Principal configures for output of principal stress components.
Notes:
This function must be checked before conducting the discretization analysis
