PRINT: Request or suppress output to the message file in an ABAQUS/Standard
analysis or to the status file in an ABAQUS/Explicit analysis.
This option is used to obtain or suppress detailed printout in the message (.msg) file in an ABAQUS/Standard
analysis or in the status (.sta) file in an ABAQUS/Explicit analysis.
Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit
Type: History data
Level: Step
References:
“Output,” Section 4 .1.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual
Optional parameters in ABAQUS/Standard analyses:
ADAPTIVE MESH
Set ADAPTIVE MESH=YES to request detailed output during adaptive mesh smoothing. The
default is ADAPTIVE MESH=NO.
CONTACT
Set CON TA CT=YES to request detailed output of points that are contacting or separating in
interface and gap problems. This output is useful in difficult contact problems to track the
development of the solution during iteration w ithin an increment. The default is CONTACT=NO.
FREQUENCY
Set this parameter equal to the output frequency, in increments. The output will always be printed
at the last increm ent of each step unless FREQUENCY=0. The default is FREQUENCY=1. Set
FREQUENCY=0 to suppress the output.
MODEL CHANGE
Set MODEL CHA NGE=Y ES to request detailed output of which elem ents are being removed
or reactivated in the step. This output includes the new original coordinates and norm als of
elements being reactivated strain free in a large-displacement analysis. The default is MODEL
CHANGE=NO.
PLASTICITY
Set PLASTICITY =YES to request detailed outpu t of element and integratio n point numbers for
which the plasticity algorithms have failed to converge in the materia l routines. This output is
useful to determine the location in the mesh and the plasticity model for which ABAQUS/Standard
is encountering material mode l difficulties. T his information may help in identifying modeling
problems as well as m aterial parameter specification problems. The default is PLASTICITY=NO.
