Element labels associated with *el print output are different!

[gth637a]

Hello everyone,

I am including the *el print keyword to output PE and S value for an element set defined in CAE. Upon completion, the element labels in the .dat file for this element set are different (i.e. 5000 in the .dat instead of 1000) I have tried both dependent and independent instancing of parts. I appreciate your help on this matter, N

It might be due to Abaqus numbering the elements within each part rather than of the whole assembly. The same applies to the node numbering.
