*NODE PRINT

14.11

*NODE PRINT:

Define print requests for nodal variables.

This option is used to provide tabular printed output of nodal variables (displacements, reaction forces, etc.)
in the data file.

Product:

ABAQUS/Standard

Type:

History data

Level:

Step

Reference:

“Output to the data and results files,” Section 4.1.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual

Optional parameters:

FREQUENCY

Set this parameter equal 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.

GLOBAL

This parameter is relevant only at nodes where the *TRANSFORM option has been used to define
a local coordinate system.

Set GLOBAL=NO (default) to obtain printout of vector-valued nodal variables in the local

directions.

Set GLOBAL=YES to obtain printout of vector-valued nodal variables in the global directions.

LAST MODE

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), complex
eigenvalue extraction (“Complex eigenvalue extraction,” Section 6.3.6 of the ABAQUS Analysis
User’s Manual), and 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.

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 is useful only during natural frequency extraction, complex eigenvalue extraction,
and eigenvalue buckling estimation. Set this parameter equal to the first mode number for which
