*MONITOR

13.20 *MONITOR: Deﬁne a degree of freedom to monitor.

This option is used to choose a node and degree of freedom to monitor the progress of the solution in the

status ﬁle. In ABAQUS/Standard the information will also be written to the message ﬁle.

Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit

Type: History data

Level: Step

Reference:

•“Output,” Section 4.1.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User ’sManual

Required parameters:

DOF

Set this parameter equal to the degree of freedom to be monitored at the node. In an

ABAQUS/Explicit analysis the degree of freedom will be in the global coordina te system. If

the *TRANSFORM option is used at the node in an ABAQUS/Standard a nalysis, the degree of

freedom is in the local, transformed, system.

NODE

Set this parameter equal to either the node number to be monitored or the name of a node set

containing the node to be monitored. If the name of a node s et is chosen, the node set must contain

exactly one node.

Optional parameter:

FREQUENCY

This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analys es.

Thisparameter will only affect output to the message ﬁle. Setthisparam eterequal to the output

frequency in increments. The output will always be printed at the last increment of each step unless

FREQUENCY=0. The default is FREQUENCY=1. Set FREQUENCY=0 to suppress the output.

There are no data lines associated with this option.
