One of the following mutually exclusive parameters is required:
FIELD
Include this parameter to indicate that the output requests used in conjunction with the *OUTPUT
option will be written to the output database as field-type output.
HISTORY
Include this parameter to indicate that the output requests used in conjunction with the *OUTPUT
option will be written to the output database as history-type output.
The following parameters are optional and valid only if the FIELD parameter is included:
NUMBER INTERVAL
Set this parameter equal to the number of intervals during the step at which the output database
states are to be written. ABAQUS/Explicit will always write the results at the beginning of the
step. For example, if NUMBER INTERVAL=10, ABAQUS/Explicit will write 11 output database
states consisting of the values at the beginning of the step and the values at the end of 10 intervals
throughout the step. The value of this parameter must be a positive integer or zero. A value of zero
suppresses all output. If this parameter is omitted, its value will be set to 20.
The NUMBER INTERVAL and TIME POINTS parameters are mutually exclusive.
TIME MARKS
Set TIME MARKS=NO (default) to write results to the output database at the increment ending
immediately after the time dictated by the NUMBER INTERVAL or TIME POINTS parameter.
Set TIME MARKS=YES to write results at the exact times dictated by the NUMBER
INTERVAL or TIME POINTS parameter.
TIME MARKS=YES cannot be used when either the FIXED TIME INCREMENTATION or
DIRECT USER CONTROL parameter is included on the *DYNAMIC option.
