Output data from Path -> Point list

Output data from Path -> Point list

Output data from Path -> Point list

(OP)
Hi Everyone,

I've been looking everywhere and can't seem to find a solution to my problem. I have run a simulation and I would like to extract some data from a Point List that I have created.

The way I have set up my simulation is to create a single step with a fixed number of increments (200) with an increment size of 0.005. I have applied a maximum load and then run the simulation so effectively, each increment is equal to a certain load (e.g. if my final load is 200 kN, each increment would be equal to an extra 1kN). I know how to extract displacement data for each increment one at a time, but I would like to extract displacement data for all the increments in one go. I know I can do this using an ODB Field Output but then I can't select a specific point and have to interpolate between different nodes/elements. Does anyone know a way I can extract the data for all the increments in one go for a given output like displacement or strain?

Thanks in advance
