I am solving a transient heat conduction problem. I need to plot the temperature history at a node. How do i do this? Any help would be highly appreciated.


Thanks

Under the field output section of your step just add 'NT' to the list. This should save the temperature history for all the nodes in the model. I think this is what you are looking for, but I might be underthinking the request.
This records the nodal temps for me:

*Output, field, number interval=100
*Node Output
NT
 
In CAE
Tools>XY Data>Create>ODB Field Output>Unique Nodal>NT11: Nodal temperature>Switch to the Elements/Nodes tab>Pick nodes
I hope this helps.
