Abaqus/CAEStep module
One of the following mutually exclusive parameters is required when the NODE OUTPUT option is used in conjunction with the OUTPUT, HISTORY option for
Abaqus/Standard
or
Abaqus/Explicit
- NSET
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set for which this output
request is being made.
- TRACER SET
-
This parameter applies only to
Abaqus/Explicit
analyses.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the tracer set for which this output
request is being made.
Optional parameters when the NODE OUTPUT option is used in conjunction with the OUTPUT, FIELD option
- EXTERIOR
-
This parameter applies only to
Abaqus/Standard
and
Abaqus/Explicit
analyses.
Include this parameter to restrict output to only nodes that belong to the
exterior three-dimensional elements.
If this parameter and the NSET parameter are omitted, output will be written for all the nodes
in the model.
- NSET
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set for which this output
request is being made.
If this parameter and the EXTERIOR parameter are omitted, output will be written for all the nodes
in the model.
- TRACER SET
-
This parameter applies only to
Abaqus/Explicit
analyses.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the tracer set for which this output
request is being made.
This parameter is valid only for displacement output requests.
Optional parameter when the NODE OUTPUT option is used in conjunction with the OUTPUT, HISTORY option
- GLOBAL
-
This parameter applies only to
Abaqus/Standard
and
Abaqus/Explicit
analyses.
This parameter is relevant only at nodes where the
TRANSFORM option has been used to define a local coordinate system.
Set GLOBAL=NO to write vector-valued nodal variables in the local
directions.
Set GLOBAL=YES (default) to write vector-valued nodal variables in the global
directions. This default is the opposite of the default on the
NODE PRINT option and is used because most postprocessors assume that
components are given in the global system.
Optional parameters
- VARIABLE
-
Set VARIABLE=ALL to indicate that all nodal variables applicable to this
procedure and material type should be written to the output database.
Set VARIABLE=PRESELECT to indicate that the default nodal output variables for the
current procedure type should be written to the output database. Additional
output variables can be requested on the data lines.
If this parameter is omitted, the nodal variables requested for output must
be specified on the data lines.
