15.4 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.

Element integration point variables:

new(E)  MASSADJUST

Adjusted or redistributed mass in each element that is included in the element sets used with mass adjustment. This output is available only in the first output frame of the first analysis step.

new(S)(E)  YIELDS

Yield stress, , available for Mises, Johnson-Cook, and Hill plasticity material models.

Element centroidal variables:

new(S)  EMCDA

Magnitude and components of the applied volume current density vector.

mod(S)  TEMP

This variable is now available for eddy current analyses and magnetostatic analyses. For a time-harmonic eddy current analysis, this value represents the temperature that is used for evaluating the temperature-dependent material properties.

Element section variables:

new(E)  STHIN

Section thinning or thickening is defined as , where is the original thickness specified on the section definition for shell, membrane, and plane stress elements.

Whole element variables:

mod(S)  EVOL

Element volume. This variable is now available for eddy current analyses and magnetostatic analyses.

new(S)  LOADSXFEM

Distributed pressure loads applied to the XFEM-based crack surface.

Nodal variables:

new(E)  STRAINFREE

Strain-free adjustments to initial positions (adjusted position minus unadjusted position). Only written to the output database (.odb) file for the original field output frame at zero time.
