Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit ABAQUS/CAE
Benefits: History output of connector plasticity, damage, and friction quantities can be used to monitor plasticity, damage, and friction effects in connector elements.
Description: Table 15–1 describes the new connector output variables that are available for history output. Table 15–2 lists the previously available connector friction output variables that have been renamed.
