This option is used to write nodal variables to the output database. It must be used in conjunction with the *OUTPUT option.

Type: History data
Level: Step

Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set for which this output request is being made.
This parameter applies only to Abaqus/Explicit analyses.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the tracer set for which this output request is being made.
This parameter applies only to Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit analyses.
Include this parameter to restrict output to only nodes that belong to the exterior three-dimensional elements.
If this parameter and the NSET parameter are omitted, output will be written for all the nodes in the model.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set for which this output request is being made.
If this parameter and the EXTERIOR parameter are omitted, output will be written for all the nodes in the model.
This parameter applies only to Abaqus/Explicit analyses.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the tracer set for which this output request is being made.
This parameter is valid only for displacement output requests.
This parameter applies only to Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit analyses.
This parameter is relevant only at nodes where the *TRANSFORM option has been used to define a local coordinate system.
Set GLOBAL=NO to write vector-valued nodal variables in the local directions.
Set GLOBAL=YES (default) to write vector-valued nodal variables in the global directions. This default is the opposite of the default on the *NODE PRINT option and is used because most postprocessors assume that components are given in the global system.
Set VARIABLE=ALL to indicate that all nodal variables applicable to this procedure and material type should be written to the output database.
Set VARIABLE=PRESELECT to indicate that the default nodal output variables for the current procedure type should be written to the output database. Additional output variables can be requested on the data lines.
If this parameter is omitted, the nodal variables requested for output must be specified on the data lines.
First line:
Specify the identifying keys for the variables to be written to the output database. The keys are defined in “Abaqus/Standard output variable identifiers,” Section 4.2.1 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide, “Abaqus/Explicit output variable identifiers,” Section 4.2.2 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide, and “Abaqus/CFD output variable identifiers,” Section 4.2.3 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the nodal variables to be written to the output database.
