Abaqus generating rpt file

[mattwood123]

Hi everyone,

I have a large number of input files that correspond to an abaqus model, which have varying material parameters. I am trying to gather the deformation data of the analysis for the different input files and in order to do this, I need to individually probe node values of each odb and write them to an .rpt file. However, there are around 30 input files and I would like them to automatically probe every single node and write the deformed coordinates to a report file without accessing the GUI.

I have seen people suggest using Abaqus macros for this, but it doesn't seem to probe the values as I intend and I would prefer if I could write something in the input file that could automatically do this.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for the help

If it’s Abaqus/Standard analysis, you can use the *NODE PRINT keyword to write displacement results to .dat (text) file.

** FIELD OUTPUT: F-Output-1
**
*Output, field, variable=PRESELECT, number interval=20, time marks=NO
*NODE PRINT
COORD,U
**
** HISTORY OUTPUT: H-Output-1
**
*End Step

This is what I have currently in the .inp file, however the .dat file seems to only return the Instance, local node number and global node number, whereas I'm looking for X,Y,Z and deformed X,Y,Z

Look below that, it should be listed under "N O D E O U T P U T".
