Results output

[macroguy]

Dear members,
i want to write out the results data in the following
format:

"node number, nodal corodinates(X,Y,Z), nodal displacements (X,Y,Z)"

Using the field output options, i can write out displacements, but it can
only write out the displaced nodal co-ordinates. Is there anyway i can
force ABAQUS to write out undisplaced nodal cordinates, along with nodal
displacements?

Another question, any data requested from the filed output options is printed in .DAT file. Is there a way to write out ascii files in a user defined format?

your suggestions are highly appreciated.
regards.

Why don't you use the ascii format version of the .fil file which contains all the information you require. The format is fully described in the manuals.

Hello

I thinks that the format *.fil, only works with ABAQUS explicit.( I'am not sure)
In abaqus Visualization ->XY report-> choose your file format, for example : *.txt

Hi Gabichou

You can write data to the .fil file in Standard using *NODE FILE and *EL FILE. These may need to be added to the .inp file by hand (I don't use CAE for writing input decks).
