Printing results in .dat file 1

[Jlog50]

Hello all,

I am trying to print my results in the .dat file, and it seems that doing this through the input file is the only way (i.e. can not do this through cae). Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong with my input file to achieve this. Thanks.

Anyone have any input on this? Thanks

to print the coordinates of node set 1 use the following. Modify as necessary. I hope this helps.

*Node Print, F=999,NSET=Set-1
COORD,U

Thanks Rob, but still having problems with this. I am trying to print the history CPRESS/CSTRESS results .dat file and can't seem do this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Why don't you use phyton to read in the .odb file? and then write it to a file you want?

Hi Krikke81,


Thanks for you advice, I have never used pyton, is it something your can explain easily or am I going to need to learn this all from the start.

Thanks
