Creating history output

[FEAppp]

Hello,

I used abaqus 6.13 GUI to request a history output2. And then when I write the inp file, the history output doesn't have anything I selected. Also, of course, when I run the job, the result doesn't have the history output2 as well.
A screenshot is attached. H-Output-1 is the default, and H-output-2 is what I specified in GUI. However, in the inp file, nothing is specified in the H-output-2.
Does anybody know what's going on?
Thanks a lot!

Did you select these variables from the list or did you enter them manually ?

Hello FEA way,
I selected them from the list. I just checked the values I want from the list and hit OK.

Try again - restart Abaqus, redefine this output request and write new input file. Normally it shouldn’t happen. You can also check whether the output request was added or not using keyword editor.

The issue encountered here might be an occasional error that occurs in this quite old release of Abaqus.

Hello FEA way, I kind of figure out why.
My set is a node, so previously when I select stress/strain terms in history output, it doesn't have anything since stress/strain is element-based value. But when I select displacement terms in history output, it indeed writes to the input file!
Thanks for your help!

Abaqus documentation on nodal/elemental field/history outputs addresses this very clearly.
