Total Energy Output

You can request total energy variable output to the results or output database file. All of these variables are written when total energy output is requested. Energy history totals can be requested to the output database for part of the model as well as the whole model.

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

ALLAE
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

“Artificial” strain energy associated with constraints used to remove singular modes (such as hourglass control) and with constraints used to make the drill rotation follow the in-plane rotation of the shell elements.

ALLCD
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Energy dissipated by viscoelasticity. (Not supported for hyperelastic and hyperfoam material models with linear viscoelasticity.)

ALLFD
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Total energy dissipated through frictional effects. (Available only for the whole model).

ALLIE
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Total strain energy. (ALLIE=ALLSE + ALLPD + ALLCD + ALLAE + ALLDMD+ ALLDC+ ALLFC.)

ALLKE
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Kinetic energy.

ALLPD
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Energy dissipated by rate-independent and rate-dependent plastic deformation. For superelastic materials, this variable also includes recoverable phase-transformation energy.

ALLSE
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Recoverable strain energy.

ALLVD
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Energy dissipated by viscous effects not including externally applied viscous pressure loads or viscous body force loads.

ALLWK
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

External work by applied loads including externally applied viscous pressure loads and viscous body force loads. (Available only for the whole model).

ALLIHE
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Internal heat energy.

ALLHF
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

External heat energy through external fluxes.

.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Energy dissipated by damage.

Energy dissipated by distortion control.

ALLFC
.fil: no  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Fluid cavity energy, defined as the negative of the work done by all fluid cavities. (Available only for the whole model.)

ALLPW
.fil: no  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Work done by contact penalties, including general contact and penalty/kinematic contact pairs. (Available only for the whole model.)

ALLCW
.fil: no  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Work done by constraint penalties. (Available only for the whole model.)

ALLMW

Work done in propelling mass added in mass scaling. (Available only for the whole model.)

ALLPG
.fil: no  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Energy added by particle generators. (Available only for the whole model.)

ETOTAL
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Energy balance defined as: ALLKE + ALLIE + ALLVD + ALLFD + ALLIHEALLWKALLPGALLPWALLCWALLMWALLHF. (Available only for the whole model.)
