analysis or to the status file in an ABAQUS/Explicit analysis.
This option is used to obtain or suppress detailed printout in the message (.msg) file in an ABAQUS/Standard
analysis or in the status (.sta) file in an ABAQUS/Explicit analysis.

Optional parameters in ABAQUS/Standard analyses:
ADAPTIVE MESH
Set ADAPTIVE MESH=YES to request detailed output during adaptive mesh smoothing. The
default is ADAPTIVE MESH=NO.
CONTACT
Set CONTACT=YES to request detailed output of points that are contacting or separating in
interface and gap problems.
This output is useful in difficult contact problems to track the
development of the solution during iteration within an increment. The default is CONTACT=NO.
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.
MODEL CHANGE
Set MODEL CHANGE=YES to request detailed output of which elements are being removed
or reactivated in the step. This output includes the new original coordinates and normals of
elements being reactivated strain free in a large-displacement analysis. The default is MODEL
CHANGE=NO.
PLASTICITY
Set PLASTICITY=YES to request detailed output of element and integration point numbers for
which the plasticity algorithms have failed to converge in the material routines. This output is
useful to determine the location in the mesh and the plasticity model for which ABAQUS/Standard
is encountering material model difficulties. This information may help in identifying modeling
problems as well as material parameter specification problems. The default is PLASTICITY=NO.
