Nodal stress history output

Nodal stress history output

Nodal stress history output

(OP)
Hello all,

I am trying to obtain the stress history output of a node in my model. To do this I went into the Step module -> Tools menu -> Set -> Create -> Node, and selected the desired node.

I then went to the Output menu -> History Output Requests -> Create -> Set, and select the set I just created. I then selected the stresses as the output.

However, after I run the analysis and go into the Results menu -> History Output, the stress data is nowhere to be found in the output list.

Am I missing a step here?

Thanks for any help,

RE: Nodal stress history output

Why do you need stress data as a history output? Default options provide stress data as a field output anyway.

Open your INP, scroll down to the OUTPUT REQUESTS, and put the following in your INP:

CODE --> ABAQUS_INPUT_FORMAT

** OUTPUT REQUESTS
** 
** FIELD OUTPUT: F-Output-1
** 
*Output, field
*Node Output
U, RF
*Element Output
S
** 
** HISTORY OUTPUT: H-Output-1
** 
*Output, history
*Node Output, nset=myNodeSet
RF2, U2
** 
*End Step 

Note that myNodeSet is the name that you provide to the node set of your interest.
