"COORD: Codinates" identify in Abaqus

Hi, I am practicing Abaqus through a video by Modeling Tactics via this link:

I followed: Tools/ XY Data/ Manager/ Create/ ODB field output/ Variables/ Position: Unique Nodal. But I didn't see the "COORD: Coordinates" in the Edit box, so I could not get nodes' coordinates. I used Abaqus v6.12. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

Did you request COORD as a field output? I don't think it's output by default. So if you haven't requested it, it won't be available in the .odb file.
