ABAQUS generates diagnostic information during an analysis job; ABAQUS/CAE reads the diagnostic information that is stored in the output database. Thus, you can use the Job Diagnostics dialog box to view convergence information only for procedures that generate information in the output database. Job diagnostics are stored in the output database for the following ABAQUS/Standard procedures:

Diagnostic information for other analysis procedures is located in the message file (ABAQUS/Standard and ABAQUS/Explicit) or the status file (ABAQUS/Explicit) and cannot be viewed in ABAQUS/CAE.

Detailed diagnostic information is saved to the output database by default for the supported analysis procedures. If you do not want to include diagnostic information, use the Keywords Editor to edit the input file to include the following line in the model data:

*OUTPUT, DIAGNOSTICS=NO

For more information on using the Keywords Editor, see “Adding unsupported keywords to your ABAQUS/CAE model,” Section 9.9.1.
