*NODE FILE
14.9 *NODE FILE: Define results file requests for nodal data.
This option is used to choose the nodal variables that will be written to the resul ts (.fil) file in an
ABAQUS/Standard analysis or to the selected results (.sel) file in an ABAQUS/Explicit analysis. In an
ABAQUS/Explicit analysis it must be used in conjunctionwith the *FILE OUTPUT opti on.
Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit
Type: History data
Level: Step

•*FILE OUTPUT
Optional parameters:
FREQUENCY
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analys es.
Set this parameter equal to the output frequency, in increments. The output will always be
written to the results file atthe last increment of each step unless FREQUENCY=0. Thedefault is
FREQUENCY=1. Set FREQUENCY=0 to suppress the output.
GLOBAL
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analys es.
This parameter is relevant only at nodes where the *TRANSFORM option has beenused to
define a local coordinate system.
Set GLOBAL=NO to write vector-valued nodalvariables in the local directions.
Set GLOBAL=YES (default) to write vector-valued nodal variables in the globaldirections.
This default is the opposite of the default on the *NODE PRINT option and is used because most
postprocessors assume that components are given in the globalsystem .
LAST MODE
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analys es.
This parameter is useful only during eigenvalue extraction for natural frequencies(“Natural
frequency extraction,” Section 6.3.5 of the ABAQUS Analys is User’s Manual) and for eigenvalue
buckling estimation (“Eigenvalue buckling prediction,” Section 6.2.3 of the A BAQUS Analysis
User’s Manual).
Set this parameter equal to the highest mode number for w hich output is required.
