Required parameter:

STEP

Set this parameter equal to the step number from which output is required.

Optional parameter:

ITERATION

This parameter applies only to postprocessing a direct cyclic analysis (see “Direct cyclic analysis,” Section 6.2.6 of the ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual).

Set this parameter equal to the iteration number in a direct cyclic analysis from which additional output is being requested.

Data lines to request output from specified increments if the ITERATION is omitted: 

First line:

  1. First increment number at which additional output is being requested.

  2. Second increment number at which additional output is being requested.

  3. Etc., up to eight increments per line.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the increments at which output is required.

To recover additional output from a previous direct cyclic analysis when the ITERATION parameter is included: 

No data lines are needed when the ITERATION parameter is specified.
