(OP)
Hi everybody,

I have a problem that sure is easy to solve, but I don't get how, so any help will be appreciated.

Using Abaqus 6.10, sometimes I get elements with negative volume (Abaqus identified them in set ErrElemVolSmallNegZero) and sometimes, in contacts I get nodes used more than once as slave (identified in set ErrNodeOverconTieSlave). In those cases, I enter the visualization module to see the wrong elements/nodes, then go back to the model and correct them. With some patience this works fine.

The problem is that now I have to use other pc with abaqus 6.11, and when I get those errors and enter the visualization mode to identify where the problems are, the message "Odb file only contains user-defined data" appears and there is nothing to show. So here is my question...how can I activate this functionality so I can see the mentioned sets in v6.11?

Any suggestion?
Thank you very much.
