I am new to abaqus and I am doing contact modelling on two cable wires, one is helically wrapped around the core wire which are made of copper.I am doing cyclic tension compression test for 10 cycles. I want to find contact force and plot the friction hysteresis loop.I have field output variables CPRESS, CSHEAR and CSLIP.I want to plot contact pressure vs the node. Suppose i select three nodes and want to plot CPRESS. But for each cycle there is 1000 increments so i am very confused how to plot? Can someone please help me out?
