Field Output Requests Manager To Request Output of Variables That Should Be Written at

This document discusses using field output and history output in ABAQUS to request output variables to be written to the output database at different frequencies. Field output is used to output variables at relatively low frequencies over the entire model or large portions, and is used to generate deformed shape plots, contours, and animations. History output is used to output variables at high frequencies from small portions of the model, such as a single node displacement, and is used to generate X-Y plots and data reports. The document also provides steps to select a degree of freedom to monitor throughout the analysis in ABAQUS.

Output>
A list of the preselected variables written by default to the output database is given in the
ABAQUS
Analysis User’s Manual. You do not need to do anything to accept these defaults. You use the
Field Output Requests Manager to request output of variables that should be written at
relatively low frequencies to the output database from the entire model or from a large portion of
the model. You use the History Output Requests Manager to request output of variables that
should be written to the output database at a high frequency from a small portion of the model;
for example, the displacement of a single node.

You can use the Field Output Requests Manager to do the following:
 Select the variables that ABAQUS will write to the output database.
 Select the section points for which ABAQUS will generate output data.
 Select the region of the model for which ABAQUS will generate output data.
 Change the frequency at which ABAQUS will write data to the output database.

You use Field Output to request output of variables that should be written at relatively
low frequencies to the output database from the entire model or from a large portion of the
model. Field output is used to generate deformed shape plots, contour plots, and
animations from your analysis results. Abaqus/CAE writes every component of the
variables to the output database at the selected frequency.
2. You use History Output requests to request output of variables that should be written to
the output database at a high frequency from a small portion of the model; for example,
the displacement of a single node. History output is used to generate X–Y plots and data
reports from your analysis results. When you create a history output request, you must
select the

2. Selecting a degree of freedom to monitor


1. From the main menu bar, select Tools→Set→Create. The Create Set dialog box appears.
2. Name the node set Monitor, and click Continue.
3. Select the vertex of the solid hinge piece shown in Figure 6–5.
4. Click Done to indicate that you have finished selecting the geometry for the set.
5. From the main menu bar, select Output→DOF Monitor. The DOF Monitor dialog box
appears.
6. Toggle on Monitor a degree of freedom throughout the analysis.
7. Click Edit, an Options dialog box appears.
8. Go to the viewport and right click on the mouse to display a menu. Choose Points. The
Region Selection dialog box appears.
9. Choose the node set Monitor from the Region Selection dialog box and click Continue.
10. The DOF Monitor dialog box reappears.
11. Type 1 in the Degree of freedom text field, and click OK.
