*NODE FILE

The default value is LAST MODE=N, where N is the number of modes extracted. If the

MODE parameter is used, the default value is LAST MODE=M, where M is the value of the MODE
parameter.

MODE

This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analyses.

This parameter is useful only during eigenvalue extraction for natural frequencies and for

eigenvalue buckling estimation. Set this parameter equal to the first mode number for which output
is required. The default is MODE=1. See also the LAST MODE parameter. When performing a

*FREQUENCY analysis, the normalization will follow the format set by the NORMALIZATION
parameter. Otherwise, the normalization is such that the largest displacement component in the
mode has a magnitude of 1.0.

NSET

Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set for which the output is being written to the
results file. If this parameter is omitted, the output will be written for all nodes in the model.

Data lines to request nodal output in the results or selected results file:

First line:

1. Give the identifying keys for the variables to be written to the results or selected results file.

The keys are defined in the “Nodal variables” section of “ABAQUS/Standard output variable
identifiers,” Section 4.2.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual, and “ABAQUS/Explicit
output variable identifiers,” Section 4.2.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the nodal variables to be written to the results or
selected results file.
