35.3.3 Selecting field output section points

If your field output report includes section point variables, you can choose the section point at which ABAQUS/CAE reports values for those variables. The default is to report values at all available section points.

To select field output section points:

  1. Locate the section point options.

    From the main menu bar, select ReportField Output; then click the Variables tab in the dialog box that appears.

  2. Use the check box method to select section variables.

  3. At the Section point label at the bottom of the dialog box, do one of the following:

    • click All to report values at all available section points, or

    • click Single to indicate that you will select one section point at which to report values.

      If you have selected at least one element section point variable, the section point Settings button becomes available.

  4. To select one or more section points, click Settings.

    The Field Report Section Point Settings dialog box appears. Use this dialog box to select the desired section points. For more information, see Selecting the location of output variables, Section 24.4.5.

  5. Click OK to apply your section point selections and to close the Field Report Section Point Settings dialog box.

To generate your report, configure the remaining options on the Setup page, which is also in the Report Field Output dialog box; then click Apply. When you have finished, click Cancel to close the dialog box.
