Stable Time Increment

[Hassan Nazari]

Dear Friends,

I am wondering for two issues in Abaqus Explicit analysis:

1.It would be possible to extract Stable Time Increment (for each element) from *Odb file?
2.The Stable Increment reported in *Sta file is principally employed for the whole elements inside the model; or it is a value just for critical elements?

Thanks in advance,

1. Request History output variable in Step module. DT, Time increment in History output request -> State/Field/User/Time. After analysis, Create xy -> ODB Field output, then select output DT and choose the element you are interested in.

2. Yes, critical element.
