how to request the .fil file

how to request the .fil file

how to request the .fil file

(OP)
When I run an analysis job with abaqus it only outputs a .odb file. Is there a command to have abaqus also output the .fil file?

RE: how to request the .fil file

*node file or *el file

RE: how to request the .fil file

I don't think you can request this through the CAE. You need to add it to the input file manually.

RE: how to request the .fil file

(OP)
I've been setting up the analysis in Patran and running the analysis through ABAQUS/Standard using the command promt. Usually I just type in "abaqus analysis job=XXXXX". I tried adding *node and *el to the command, but Abaqus said that isn't a valid option using "analysis". How do I add it to the input file manually, or is there a analysis option that I can add to have Abaqus output the .fil file?

RE: how to request the .fil file

You have to edit the .inp file in a text editor. You need to check the abaqus manuals to see where the command from corus go in the file, I always use the CAE.

RE: how to request the .fil file

(OP)
Ok I figured it out. In Patran under analysis there is this thing called "optional controls". There you can select what abaqus outputs. I compared the .inp that Patran creates with and without the .fil output request, but wasn't able to narrow down which line told abaqus to output the .fil file. Anyway thanks for everyone's help
