Record Written for Any Energy File Output Request

The section describes the format of the individual records in the Abaqus results file.

When you do not specify an element set for which energy output is being requested in Abaqus/Standard, record 1999 provides values summed over the entire model; when you specify an element set for energy output, record 1999 provides values summed over all the elements in the specified element set. You can distinguish between a whole model 1999 energy record and an element set 1999 energy record by searching for a 1911 output request definition record containing the element set name; this 1911 record will be written just before the element set 1999 energy record. This 1911 record also has the first attribute set to 3 to indicate element set output. In Abaqus/Explicit you cannot specify selected element sets for an energy output request; record 1999 provides the total energies for the whole model.
