Solution Step dialog box (Abaqus), Output page

Output Request
Single Set of Output Request Appears for the General step of a Structural analysis.Select the Single Set of Output Request check box to have a single output request modeling object control the results that Abaqus generates during the solve and the location in which those results are stored. Clear the Single Set of Output Request check box to assign more than one output requests modeling object so you can output different types of results to different types of files and during different steps of the solution.For more information, see Requesting output for Abaqus analyses.
Output Request Appears for General step of Structural analysis when the Single Set of Output Request check box is selected. Always appears for all other analyses.Select an existing output requests modeling object from the list or click Create Modeling Object to create a new modeling object.Click Modify Selected to edit the selected output request.For more information, see Abaqus Structural, Explicit, Thermal, and Thermal-Structural Output Requests dialog box.
Select Output Request Modeling Objects Appears when the Single Set of Output Request check box is cleared.Displays the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box to let you create and select the output requests modeling object to be used in the step.For more information, see Modeling Objects Manager dialog box and Abaqus Structural, Explicit, Thermal, and Thermal-Structural Output Requests dialog box.
Monitor Request
Monitor Option Appears for the General, Static Perturbation, Complex Eigenvalue Extraction, Visco, Implicit Dynamic, Transient Modal Dynamic, Direct Cyclic, and Complex Eigenvalue Extraction, and Steady-State Modal Dynamic steps of Structural analyses.Lets you monitor the progress of an overall solution through a selected node or degree-of-freedom.Retain from Previous StepRetains the setting of this option from the previous step.Apply Specific RequestLets you include a Monitor modeling object in this step. This allows you to monitor the progress of a particular node or degree-of-freedom during this step.For more information, see Monitoring nodes to gauge the progress of a solution (Abaqus).
Restart Output Control
Restart Option Appears for the General, Frequency Perturbation, Visco, Implicit Dynamic, and Direct Cyclic steps of Structural analyses.Controls how restart output data is handled for this step.Retain from Previous StepSpecifies that the restart output data for this step is the same as the restart output data for the previous step. The setting for the *RESTART keyword from the previous step propagates to this step in the Abaqus input file. Discontinue Writing Restart DataRequests that Abaqus not write any restart data for this step. When you export or solve your solution, the software writes the *RESTART, WRITE, FREQUENCY= 0 keyword for this step, which discontinues the writing of restart data.Apply Specific Restart RequestLets you specify a Restart modeling object to request specific restart data.For more information, see Restarting Abaqus analyses.
Matrix Generation OutputAppears for the Matrix Generation step.
Stiffness Matrix Outputs the stiffness matrix.
Mass Matrix Outputs the mass matrix.
Viscous Damping Matrix Outputs the damping matrix.
Structural Damping Matrix Outputs the structural damping matrix.
Load Matrix Outputs the load matrix.
Matrix Format Specifies the type of matrix file to generate. Matrix InputOutputs matrix files formatted according to the Abaqus matrix definition technique. For example, for an assembled sparse matrix operator, outputs the data to the text file as a series of comma-separated lists. Standard LabelingOutputs text files formatted according to the standard labeling format. Converts internal Abaqus node labels into large positive numbers that are acceptable for Abaqus matrix input data. The conversion is the only difference between the labeling text and the matrix input text formats. Mathematical CoordinateOutputs the matrix using the common mathematical coordinate format used in mathematics programs such as MATLAB. Each row in a coordinate-formatted file corresponds to a matrix entry. Nastran DMIG-sOutputs the matrices to a Nastran DMIG-s format (.bdf) file.User ElementOutputs the generated matrices according to the linear user element matrix input. The file name containing the matrices includes the job name followed by the letter x and the step number from which the matrix was generated. This option corresponds to the Abaqus FORMAT parameter of the *MATRIX OUTPUT keyword. For more information, see Output in the Generating matrices chapter of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide.
Matrix Substructure OutputAppears for the Substructure Generation step. Lets you output a substructure's recovery matrix, reduced stiffness matrix, mass matrix, load case vectors, and the gravity load vectors to a file. The output is useful when the substructure is to be used in another program.
Recovery Matrix Outputs a recovery matrix.
Reduced Stiffness Matrix Outputs a reduced stiffness matrix.
Mass Matrix Outputs a mass matrix.
Load Case Vectors Outputs load case vectors.
Gravity Vectors Outputs gravity vectors.
