*POST OUTPUT
Postprocess for output from the restart file.

This option can be used only for postprocessing to recover additional printed (.dat), output database (.odb), and results file (.fil) output from the restart file of a previous analysis.

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Type: History data

Level: Model

Required parameter:

STEP

Set this parameter equal to the step number from which output is required.

Optional parameters:

CYCLE

This parameter applies only to postprocessing a low-cycle fatigue analysis (see “Low-cycle fatigue analysis using the direct cyclic approach,” Section 6.2.7 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide).

Set this parameter equal to the cycle number in a low-cycle fatigue analysis from which additional output is being requested.

ITERATION

This parameter applies only to postprocessing a direct cyclic analysis (see “Direct cyclic analysis,” Section 6.2.6 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide).

Set this parameter equal to the iteration number in a direct cyclic analysis from which additional output is being requested.

Data lines to request output from specified increments if both the ITERATION and the CYCLE parameters are omitted: 

First line:

  1. First increment number at which additional output is being requested.

  2. Second increment number at which additional output is being requested.

  3. Etc., up to eight increments per line.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the increments at which output is required.

To recover additional output from a previous direct cyclic analysis when the ITERATION parameter is included: 

No data lines are needed when the ITERATION parameter is specified.

To recover additional output from a previous low-cycle fatigue analysis when the CYCLE parameter is included: 

No data lines are needed when the CYCLE parameter is specified.
