*EL print

[Bayram2014]

Hi ll,
I wanted to get the stresses at an ELSET and wrote:

*EL print ,elset=ELsetFront_HB,POSITION=AVERAGED AT NODES,frequency=100000
S11, S22, S12

I got a table like :
NODE FOOT- S11 S22 S12
NOTE
1 -4614. 1.2010E+06 5178.
5 -5.7100E+04 1.6403E+06 5.2975E+04
9 -1.9227E+06 -6.1784E+06 0.2785
10 -1.6184E+07 -1.0650E+07 3.1670E+05
.
.
.
218230 1.1117E+04 -1.6956E+06 4.5990E+04
218234 1.2195E+04 -2.2781E+06 8.4795E+04

My problem is that the hole mesh has only 180851 nodes and 160000 elements.
So what are the node numbers given in my .dat file ?
Regards,

Node number don't have to start from 1 and they don't have to be continuous. Check the numbering of nodes in that set. You can also highlight a particular node in Abaqus/Viewer so pick one of those high numbers from the .dat file and try to find it in the result mesh.
