averaging region in odb

[issares]

I have simulated an explicit simulation. when the simulation has completed i used "fieldoutputs report" to save some results (section thickness (STH)) for all unique node in text file. The problem is the results in this file was "automatically" seperated in some different averaging region.
If anyone got an idea please help me
I want to know how can i save a fieldoutputs report without this many averaging region in the text file.

Hi!
What kind of values you want to save? Typically Abaqus saves requested values (stresses, strains) for each node (element).

Hi Issares
By default, Abaqus Viewer Averages the results inside the ODB Regions. So if you have different section defintions in the model, each region with different section properties is considered as a different ODB Region and will be averaged seperately.

To avoid this, you can change the default Averaging Region to all that is in the model.

In Viewer,

Results->Options->Computation->Averaging->Average Element output at Nodes->Use Region Boundaries->DisplayGroups->Specify->ALL
