How to get the input element data in ODBC output. When i run the ODBC output i am getting only output reports like restaint summary,Displacements. but when i click the INPUT_BASIC_ELEMENT_DATA it is showing the input datas like temp,pr as zeros.

can anyone help me for this problem.

After you specify the job name and the name for the output (generated) datebase, you are presented with a screen full of checkboxes for the input. Make sure you check "elements" here.

Thanks for your reply ,

But i am not very clear with your reply.

Here are the steps what i have followed
1.I gone to config setup and changed my data output to ODBC

2.I have a given a file name for exporting the caesar op.
( i am giving a filename here but not showing anything as you said)

3.Then i runned the caesar and opened the .mdb file and it is showing the
OUTPUT_DISPLACEMENTS,OUTPUT_GLOBAL_ELEMENT_FORCES,
OUTPUT_LOCAL_ELEMENT_FORCES ,OUTPUT_STRESSES
but not the
INPUT_BASIC_ELEMENT_DATA,INPUT_ALLOWABLES
INPUT_BENDS,INPUT_DISPLMNT

I am using a caesar 5.0 newer build

I'd recommend not doing the ODBC export this way. The reason is because:

a) Every run you make in this directory goes to a database. This is typically not necessary until you're satisfied with the job.

b) You have no choice over what goes into the database - all reports for all load cases are exported.

c) You don't get input data, only the analysis results.

Do I would turn this option off. When you're ready to export data to a database, use "\tools\external interfaces\data export wizard". You have much more control over what goes into the database using this method.
