*NODE OUTPUT
Define output database requests for nodal data.

This option is used to write nodal 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  

References:

One of the following mutually exclusive parameters is required when the *NODE OUTPUT option is used in conjunction with the *OUTPUT, HISTORY option: 

NSET

Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set for which this output request is being made.

TRACER SET

This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Explicit analyses.

Set this parameter equal to the name of the tracer set for which this output request is being made.

Optional parameters when the *NODE OUTPUT option is used in conjunction with the *OUTPUT, FIELD option: 

NSET

Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set for which this output request is being made.

If this parameter is omitted, the output will be written for all the nodes in the model.

TRACER SET

This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Explicit analyses.

Set this parameter equal to the name of the tracer set for which this output request is being made.

This parameter is valid only for displacement output requests.

Optional parameter:

VARIABLE

Set VARIABLE=ALL to indicate that all nodal variables applicable to this procedure and material type should be written to the output database.

Set VARIABLE=PRESELECT to indicate that the default nodal 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 nodal variables requested for output must be specified on the data lines.

Data lines to request nodal output: 

First line:

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the nodal variables to be written to the output database.
