ProductsAbaqus/StandardAbaqus/Explicit Field output and history output are controlled by output database requests as described in this section. A subset of the diagnostic information that is written to the message file for Abaqus/Standard analyses and to the status and message files for Abaqus/Explicit analyses is included in the output database.
Output database requests can be repeated as often as necessary within a step to produce both field and history output at multiple frequencies. Requesting Field OutputContact surface output, element output, nodal output, and radiation output are available as field output in Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit. Input File Usage Use the first option in conjunction with one or more of the subsequent options to request field output to the output database: OUTPUT, FIELD CONTACT OUTPUT ELEMENT OUTPUT NODE OUTPUT RADIATION OUTPUT These options are discussed in detail below. Requesting History OutputContact surface output, element output, energy output, integrated output, time incrementation output, modal output, nodal output, and radiation output are available as history output in Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit. Requesting large amounts of history output (more than 1000 output requests) may cause performance to degrade in Abaqus/Standard and will cause performance to degrade in Abaqus/Explicit. For vector- or tensor-valued output variables each component is considered to be a single request. In the case of element variables history output will be generated at each integration point. For example, requesting history output of the tensor variable S (stress) for a C3D10M element will generate 24 history output requests: (6 components) × (4 integration points). When requesting history output of vector- and tensor-valued variables, it is recommended that individual components be selected where available. Input File Usage Use the first option in conjunction with one or more of the subsequent options to request history output to the output database: OUTPUT, HISTORY CONTACT OUTPUT ELEMENT OUTPUT ENERGY OUTPUT INTEGRATED OUTPUT INCREMENTATION OUTPUT MODAL OUTPUT NODE OUTPUT RADIATION OUTPUT These options are discussed in detail below. Requesting Diagnostic InformationBy default, a subset of the diagnostic information that is written to the message file for Abaqus/Standard analyses and to the status and message files for Abaqus/Explicit analyses is also written to the output database. Input File Usage Use the following option to write diagnostic information to the output database: OUTPUT, DIAGNOSTICS=YES Use the following option to exclude diagnostic information: OUTPUT, DIAGNOSTICS=NO | ||||||||||||
