The output variables listed below are available in Abaqus/Standard.

P
Field: yes  History: no  .fil: no  .dat: no  

Uniformly distributed pressure load on element faces, including those imported using the PRESS co-simulation field ID. When the pressure is defined using DLOAD, the variable name is changed automatically to PDLOAD.

HP
Field: yes  History: no  .fil: no  .dat: no  

Hydrostatic pressure load on element faces. When the pressure is defined using DLOAD, the variable name is changed automatically to HPDLOAD.

TRNOR
Field: yes  History: no  .fil: no  .dat: no  

Normal component (component along face normal) of traction load on element faces.

TRSHR
Field: yes  History: no  .fil: no  .dat: no  

Shear component (component along face tangent) of traction load on element faces.

FLUXS
Field: yes  History: no  .fil: no  .dat: no  

Uniformly distributed heat fluxes on element faces.

FILMCOEF
Field: yes  History: no  .fil: no  .dat: no  

Reference film coefficient value on element faces.

SINKTEMP
Field: yes  History: no  .fil: no  .dat: no  

Reference sink temperature on element faces.
