Preselected Output Requests

You can activate a procedure-specific set of commonly requested output variables. See Table 1 for a list of procedure types and their accompanying preselected variables. The variables written to the output database may change if the procedure type changes between steps.

Table 1. List of preselected variables for various procedure types.

If you request preselected field or history output and request additional output variables using individual output requests for specific variable types, the variables requested will be appended to the variables contained in the preselected list.

For geometrically nonlinear analysis in Abaqus/Standard, E is not available for output and LE is output by default. For linear perturbation analyses and geometrically linear analyses in Abaqus/Standard, LE and NE strain output requests yield the same output as E. For geometrically linear analysis in Abaqus/Explicit, LE is output.

Abaqus may omit some preselected variables from the analysis results. Abaqus omits preselected output variables if they are not applicable for the element type used to mesh the model or if other factors make the variables unsuitable for the analysis.

You can request all variables applicable to the current procedure and material type. Any individual output requests for specific variable types are ignored in this case.
