(OP)
How to write the frame description, Step Time and Time increment in a text file ?
I tried the following code but it does not work.

file = open("/directory/newfile.txt","w")
for frame in odb.steps['Step-1'].frames:
displacement = frame.fieldOutputs['PHILSM']
for y in displacement.values:
file.write('%6.4f, %6.4f,%6.4f \n ' % (frame.description[0],
frame.description[1], y.data))

RE: How to write the Frame description in a text file ?

In general: When you want to know what option you have based on a certain object, go into CAE/Viewer Python interpreter and print it out.

So open you odb in CAE and enter (with your odb name):

CODE -->

print session.odbs['Job-1.odb'].steps['Step-1'].frames[2]
