How to only extract positive values in Abaqus from ODB Field Output?

[drennon236]

Inside the cylinder all the values (red arrows) are positive, while outside all the values (blue arrows) are negative. I only want the positive values, when I try to extract I get both positive and negative. How can I only get positive values?

I can only get the output I want through position: Element nodal, so I cant for example make a set containing nodes only on the inside as the output I want is not given for individual nodes but only whole elements.

 

[FEA way]

In case of contour/symbol plot you can go to Contour/Symbol Plot Options —> Limits and change Min to 0. For XY plot similar trick can be done using Axis Option —> Scale. Otherwise you would probably have to use Python scripting.
