Step 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.
-
MONITOR
-
This parameter applies only to Abaqus/Standard analyses. It is relevant only at the
nodes used for monitoring the solution at selected nodes within substructures.
Include this parameter to obtain history output of solution variables at the
substructure monitor nodes in the substructure usage analysis.
This parameter cannot be used with any other parameters. No data lines are required
when this parameter is used.
-
SURFACE
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the surface 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
-
DISPLAY
-
This parameter applies only to Abaqus/Standard analyses.
This parameter is relevant only at the nodes of the display elements used for the
coarse visualization of substructures.
Include this parameter to obtain output of displacements at the nodes of display
elements representing substructures in the substructure usage analysis. If you request
output of nodal displacements for all the nodes in the model (the
NSET and
EXTERIOR parameters are omitted),
you do not need to use this parameter.
This parameter cannot be used with any other parameters. No data lines are required
when this parameter is used.
-
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.
-
SURFACE
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the surface 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.
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.
