*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 results (.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 conjunction with the *FILE OUTPUT option.
Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit
Type: History data
Level: Step

*FILE OUTPUT
Optional parameters:
FREQUENCY
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analyses.
Set this parameter equal to the output frequency, in increments. The output will always be
written to the results file at the last increment of each step unless FREQUENCY=0. The default is
FREQUENCY=1. Set FREQUENCY=0 to suppress the output.
GLOBAL
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analyses.
This parameter is relevant only at nodes where the *TRANSFORM option has been used to
define a local coordinate system.
Set GLOBAL=NO to write vector-valued nodal variables in the local directions.
Set GLOBAL=YES (default) to write vector-valued nodal variables in the global directions.
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 global system.
LAST MODE
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analyses.
This parameter is useful only during eigenvalue extraction for natural frequencies (“Natural
frequency extraction,” Section 6.3.5 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual) and for eigenvalue
buckling estimation (“Eigenvalue buckling prediction,” Section 6.2.3 of the ABAQUS Analysis
User’s Manual).
Set this parameter equal to the highest mode number for which output is required.
