Output to the Output Database

Output variables are available for:

• element integration points, element section points, whole elements, and element sets;

• surfaces in Abaqus/Explicit;

• integrated output sections in Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/Standard;

• nodes; and

• the whole model.

All the output variables are defined in Using Abaqus/Standard Output Variable Identifiers and Using Abaqus/Explicit Output Variable Identifiers.

Model information and analysis results are stored in terms of an assembly of part instances (see Assembly Definition).

See the Abaqus Scripting User's Guide for a description of how to use the Abaqus Scripting Interface or C++ to access an output database.
