This option is used to write contact variables to the output database. It must be used in conjunction with the *OUTPUT option.
Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit
Type: History data
Level: Step
Set this parameter equal to the name of the contact pair set for which this output request is being made.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set for which this output request is being made. This parameter is valid only for nodes defined under *BOND, and only the BONDSTAT and BONDLOAD output variables may be requested.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the surface in the general contact domain for which this output request is being made.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the contact pair set for which this output request is being made. If this parameter and the GENERAL CONTACT parameter are omitted, the output will be written for all of the contact pairs in the model and the general contact domain (if it has been defined).
Include this parameter to request output for the general contact domain. If this parameter and the CPSET parameter are omitted, the output will be written for all of the contact pairs in the model and the general contact domain (if it has been defined).
Set VARIABLE=ALL to indicate that all contact variables applicable to this procedure should be written to the output database.
Set VARIABLE=PRESELECT to indicate that the default contact output variables for the current procedure type should be written to the output database. Additional output variables can be requested on the data lines.
If this parameter is omitted, the contact variables requested for output must be specified on the data lines.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the master surface for which this output request is being made.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set for which this output request is being made.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the slave surface for which this output request is being made.
Set VARIABLE=ALL to indicate that all contact variables applicable to this procedure should be written to the output database.
Set VARIABLE=PRESELECT to indicate that the default contact output variables for the current procedure type should be written to the output database. Additional output variables can be requested on the data lines.
If this parameter is omitted, the contact variables requested for output must be specified on the data lines.
First line:
Specify the identifying keys for the output variables to be written to the output database. The keys are defined in “ABAQUS/Standard output variable identifiers,” Section 4.2.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual, and “ABAQUS/Explicit output variable identifiers,” Section 4.2.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the list of variables to be written to the output database.
