**Specification**

- *Alias:* None

- *Arguments:* None

- *Default:* text output


**Description**


When this keyword is present, Dakota will right (some) final
method results to disk in a custom structured text format instead
of just to the console. Support for text format results output
will be deprecated in a future release, and the contents and
organization of the output file is subject to change.

The default name of the file is ``dakota_results``.txt. This can
be changed using the ``results_output_file`` keyword.



**Examples**



.. code-block::

    environment
      results_output
          text
          results_output_file 'my_results'  # The .txt extension will be added
