*MODAL OUTPUT

13.13 *MODALOUTPUT: Write generalized coordinate (modal amplitude) data to the output

database during a mode-based dynamicor complex eigenvalue extraction procedure.

This option is used during a mode-based dynamic or complex eigenvalue extraction procedure to write

generalized coordinate (modal amplitude and phase) val ues to the ABAQUS/Standard output database. It

must be used in conjunction with the *OUTPUT, HISTORY option.

Product: ABAQUS/Standard

Type: History data

Level: Step

References:

•“Output to the output database,” Section 4.1.3 of the ABAQUS Analysis User ’sManual

•*OUTPUT

Optional parameter:

VAR I A B L E

Set VARIABLE=ALLto indicate that all modal variables applicable to this procedure and material

type should be written to the output database.

If this parameter is omitted, the modal variables requestedfor output must be speciﬁed on the

data lines.

Data lines to request modal output:

First line:

1. Give the identifying keys for the variables to be written to the output database. Thekey s are

deﬁned in the “Modal variables” section of “ABAQUS/Standardoutput variable identiﬁers,”

Section 4.2.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’sManual.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to deﬁne the modal variables to be written to the output

database.
