*PRINT

Set ADAPTIVE MESH=YES to request detailed output during adaptive mesh smoothing. The default is ADAPTIVE MESH=NO.

Set CONTACT=YES to request detailed output of points that are contacting or separating in interface and gap problems. This output is useful in difficult contact problems to track the development of the solution during iteration within an increment. The output is printed for every increment unless FREQUENCY=0. The default is CONTACT=NO.

Set this parameter equal to the output frequency, in increments. The default is FREQUENCY=1. Set FREQUENCY=0 to suppress the output. Unless you set FREQUENCY=0, the output will always print at the last increment of each step. The output for the last increment may occur several times due to unsuccessful attempts (nonconvergence of global Newton iterations) or may not occur at all if the step ends prematurely.

Set MODEL CHANGE=YES to request detailed output of which elements are being removed or reactivated in the step. This output includes the new original coordinates and normals of elements being reactivated strain free in a large-displacement analysis. The default is MODEL CHANGE=NO.

Set PLASTICITY=YES to request detailed output of element and integration point numbers for which the plasticity algorithms have failed to converge in the material routines. This output is useful to determine the location in the mesh and the plasticity model for which Abaqus/Standard is encountering material model difficulties. This information may help in identifying modeling problems as well as material parameter specification problems. The default is PLASTICITY=NO.

Set RESIDUAL=YES (default) if the output of equilibrium residuals is to be given during the equilibrium iterations. Set RESIDUAL=NO to suppress the output.

Set SOLVE=YES (default) to request information regarding the actual number of equations and the memory requirement in each iteration. Set SOLVE=NO to suppress the output.

Set ALLKE=YES to request that a column containing the total kinetic energy be printed in the status file. Set ALLKE=NO to suppress this printout. The default is ALLKE=YES.

Set CRITICAL ELEMENT=YES to request that a column listing the element that has the smallest stable time increment be printed in the status file. Set CRITICAL ELEMENT=NO to suppress this printout. The default is CRITICAL ELEMENT=YES.

Set DMASS=YES to request that a column containing the percent change in total mass of the model due to mass scaling be printed in the status file. Set DMASS=NO to suppress this printout. The default is DMASS=NO unless active mass scaling is present in the step. FIXED MASS SCALING propagated from a previous step is not considered to be active mass scaling.

Set ETOTAL=YES to request that a column containing the energy balance of the model be printed in the status file. Set ETOTAL=NO to suppress this printout. The default is ETOTAL=YES.

Other energy variables can also be printed. Please refer to Total Energy Output for energy variables available in Abaqus/Explicit.

Set MASS=YES to request that a column containing the total mass of the model be printed in the status file. Set MASS=NO to suppress this printout. The default is MASS=NO.
