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

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

ALLFD
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

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

ALLIE
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

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

ALLKE
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

Kinetic energy.

ALLPD
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

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

ALLSE
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

Recoverable strain energy.

ALLVD
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

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

ALLWK
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

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

ALLIHE
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

Internal heat energy.

ALLHF
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

External heat energy through external fluxes.

ALLDMD
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

Energy dissipated by damage.

ALLDC
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

Energy dissipated by distortion control.

ALLFC
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: no  

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

ALLPW
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: no  

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

ALLCW
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: no  

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

ALLMW
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: no  

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

ALLPG
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: no  

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

ETOTAL
Field: no  History: yes  .fil: yes  

Energy balance defined as: ALLKE + ALLIE + ALLVD + ALLFD + ALLIHE − ALLWK − ALLPG − ALLPW − ALLCW − ALLMW − ALLHF. (Available only for the whole model.)
