Hi Everybody,

I am currently working in an proyect with ABAQUS/CAE 6.9. involving inverse dynamics. I am testing some algorithms with Matlab so I need an output in a txt,rpt,dat... file. In my first attempts i did a path containing some nodes and another one containing all of them. Then i made an xy-data for the displacements (in each step, first there was around 10 steps, today more than 20, tomorrow... who knows) in x-axis(global), another one for the displacements in y-axis(global) and that is all because, at the moment, my problem is only 2-D.

Here come my questions:
is there another way to obtain a file with all the displacements in the different steps? I have also tried the *Node print command but i get lots of information an i need to "work" with the data to obtain a decent format.(My python knowledge is zero, should i learn a little bit?)
Can i make a path using multiple steps?

I hope you can help me, i am quite new with abaqus.

Thank you all in advance!!

Try defining a set, or sets, to use with the Node print command. This will limit the amount of data you print out to the dat file.

Hi Corus,

thank you for your answer! but it is not what i am looking for, i need to know the displacements of all 1000+ nodes. The extra information i am talking about is the abaqus version, mat properties...

Ideally i could obtain a matrix (txt,csv,dat... file with the data) with all the displacements in all the steps. Any idea?

Thank you again!
