How to Directly Output Strain Values for Specific Node/Element Sets Without Writing an ODB File in Abaqus?

[katlaer]

Hello everyone,

I want to directly output strain values (E) for multiple node sets and/or element sets, without generating a complete .odb file. The issue is that my model is quite large, and writing the .odb file consumes a significant amount of disk space and memory, which greatly slows down the process. I only need the strain data for specific sets of the model, so generating and processing the full .odb file is inefficient and resource-intensive.

If you are using Abaqus/Standard, you can add *NODE PRINT and *EL PRINT to write nodal and elemental results to the .dat file.
