The job runs and solves fine and I think the result is reasonable. However in the simulation in the visualization module the failed elements...

    How to display pre-processor printout?

    Hi this is probably an easy one... can anyone tell me how to view the pre-processor printout in abaqus. I have selected 'print model definition data' in the 'General' Tab whilst creating my Job but don't know how to view the actual printout once the job is submitted. Any reply appreciated. Luke
