Requesting multiple output for Abaqus Structural analyses
In a General step of an Abaqus Structural analysis, you can output different types of results to different types of output files by creating multiple Abaqus Structural Output Requests modeling objects. The Abaqus Structural Output Requests modeling objects can also be active in different steps of the solution. For example, you could create one modeling object to request output of reaction forces to a data (DAT) file, another modeling object to output stresses to an output database (ODB) file, and a third to output strains to a results (FIL) file.
To control whether you can create multiple output request modeling objects for a step, use the Single Set of Output Request check box on the Output page of the Solution Step dialog box. You can then use the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box to specify the modeling objects to be active in the step.
Note:
You cannot import an array of output request modeling objects.
You cannot use multiple output request to output to MSG or STL files.
