Product: Abaqus/Standard
Benefits: Abaqus/Standard can automatically identify all the nodes that are needed in the selective recovery node set.
Description: To improve performance and reduce the amount of stored data for large models, it is recommended that you request eigenvectors only at specified nodes; however, identifying all of the required nodes can be cumbersome. Now, Abaqus/Standard can automatically select all the necessary nodes as follows:
nodes at which a concentrated load is applied in the subsequent mode-based procedures,
nodes at which output is requested in the eigenvalue extraction analysis or in the subsequent mode-based procedures,
nodes at which residual vectors are requested,
nodes of elements at which a distributed load is applied,
nodes of elements with frequency-dependent material properties, and
nodes of elements at which output is requested in the eigenvalue extraction analysis or in the subsequent mode-based procedures.
