16.4 Changes in Abaqus output variable identifiers

This section summarizes the changes and the additions that have been made to output variable identifiers used in Abaqus.

Whole element variables:

mod(E)  CA

The connector relative acceleration, previously available only for history output, can now be requested for field output.

mod(E)  CDIP

The components of connector plastic motion-based damage initiation criterion in all directions, previously available only for history output, can now be requested for field output.

mod(E)  CFAILST

The all flags for connector failure status, previously available only for history output, can now be requested for field output.

mod(E)  CP

The connector relative position, previously available only for history output, can now be requested for field output.

mod(E)  CUPEQC

Equivalent plastic relative motion for a coupled plasticity definition is no longer available for field output.

mod(E)  CV

The connector relative velocity, previously available only for history output, can now be requested for field output.

new(S)  CYCLEINIXFEM

Number of cycles to initialize the crack at the enriched element.

mod(S)  ELJD
