I have some .odb files which gives some results in the form of stress field.
How to extract stress values at different nodes from .odb files??

You can open the .odb in Abaqus/Viewer and use Tools -> Query -> Probe Values to extract field output from individual nodes. This option allows you to select nodes/elements in the viewport or key in node/element numbers. This is only really viable if you have a small number of nodes/elements that you're interested in.

If you want toe extract output from multiple nodes/elements, you can use Report -> Field Output in Abaqus/Viewer. This allows you to report field output (like stresses/strains etc.) to a text file that's saved in the working directory. Results are written for whatever nodes/elements are currently visible in the viewport. Ideally, you would have your nodes/elements that you're interested in saved in specific node/element sets for this purpose.

This is all described in the manual:
