Context: When an output database is selected, Abaqus/CAE lists for your selection all vector and tensor variables available at the current step and frame of your output database by default; resultant values are displayed in vector variable symbol plots, and all principal components are displayed in tensor variable symbol plots. An asterisk to the left of the description indicates that the variable includes complex number results. When a model from the current model database is selected, Abaqus/CAE lists for your selection all loads, predefined fields, boundary conditions, and interactions available at the current step of your model by default. All of these selectable items are preceded by a letter in parentheses to distinguish them by category: (L) for loads, (P) for predefined fields, (B) for boundary conditions, and (I) for interactions. Use the Symbol Variable options in the Field Output dialog box to choose the variable and the specific components that you want. For information on individual output variable identifiers, see Output Variables. When you display a vector variable in a symbol plot, you can choose from the following options:
Likewise, when you display a tensor variable in a symbol plot, you can choose from the following options:
