Results Output Control. For each loadcase/step a large number of different result types can be calculated by ABAQUS. These results can be calculated at element gauss points, nodally averaged at nodes etc. and can be output either in printed form (the ABAQUS '.dat' file) or as a result file (the ABAQUS '.fil' file).

The abaqus procedure generates several files. Some of these files exist only while ABAQUS is executing and are deleted when a run completes. Other files contain analysis, postprocessing, and translation results and are retained for use by other analysis options, restarting, or postprocessing. Tutorial 1 - Create an Abaqus Input File for use with Simulation Composite Analysis Walk through a demonstration of the ply-based material functionality in Simulation Composite Analysis . The primary emphasis is creation of Abaqus input files that are compatible with the software and viewing of special solution variables computed by the tool. Learn Abaqus script in one hour J.T.B. Overvelde December 12, 2010 Introduction Scripting is a powerful tool that allows you to combine the functionality of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of Abaqus and the power of the programming language Python. This manual is not meant to be a complete Abaqus script manual. ** OUTPUT FOR ABAQUS QA PURPOSES ***** *EL FILE S, *NODE FILE U, RF *END STEP 6 Format of Input File • Model data section - Information required to define the structure being analyzed • History data section - Type of simulation (static, dynamics, etc) - The sequence of loading or events for which the response of the structure is required ABAQUS ABAQUS CAE Restart file ABAQUS Viewer Analysis binary Figure 1: ABAQUS/CAE, ABAQUS/Viewer and the Analysis Module 1.3 Where to Start?
