CSTRESS History Output in Explicit?

[skilroy]

Hi there,

Does anyone know why the CSTRESS output is avaiable as both History Output and Field Output in a Static/General step, but is only available as a Field Output in a Dynamic/Explicit? I can't seem to find any mention of this in the manual or online - is there any way around this? The only way I can think of atm is to extract the Field Output data for every frame with a Python Script.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

You could use Tools —> XY Data —> Create —> ODB field output for this purpose.
