15.2 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.

Element integration point variables:

new(S)  RMISES

Root mean square of Mises equivalent stress.

Whole element variables:

mod(S)  NFORC

Forces at the nodes of the element caused by the stress in the element (internal forces in the global coordinate system).

new(S)  NFORCSO

Forces at the nodes of a beam element caused by the stress resultants in the element (internal forces) in the beam section orientation.

Nodal variables:

new(S)  PSILSM

Signed distance function to describe the initial crack front.

new(S)  STRAINFREE

Strain-free adjustments to initial nodal positions.

Surface variables:

mod(E)  BDSTAT

Bond state (the state is 1.0 if bonded, 0.0 if unbonded).

mod(E)  CRSTS

All components of critical stress at failure.

mod(E)   DBS

All components of remaining stress in the failed bond.

mod(E)   DBSF

Fraction of stress that remains at bond failure.

mod(E)   DBT

Time when bond failure occurs.

mod(E)  EFENRRTR

Effective energy release ratio.

mod(E)  ENRRT

All components of strain energy release rate.

mod(E)   OPENBC

Relative displacement behind crack when fracture criterion is met.
