Create XY data from ODB Field output does not work

Create XY data from ODB Field output does not work

Create XY data from ODB Field output does not work

(OP)
Hi Everybody,

I have been working normally with abaqus 6.10 but for the last couple of days I cannot create an XY data set from the ODB Field output... It is strange because I can see the results (displacements, reaction forces, stress, etc.) in the viewer but when I press the create XY data button and the the ODB field output option nothing happens... however if I select odb history output, it works. Has anyone here suffered this problem? I changed something (some three months ago) in the .env file but I do not remember what, could someone please send me a "virgin" .env file to see did I change in case that was the problem?

Find below a simple example of an inp file in case something is wrong there, although it is created automatically with the CAE GUI.and also of the .env file.

Any help would be appreciated.
