JournalOptions object

A JournalOptions object specifies how to record selection of geometry in the journal and replay files. journalOptions can also be used to set the numeric formatting options for field report output, geometry commands output, and a default format for other numeric output. The JournalOptions object has no constructor. Abaqus creates the journalOptions member when a session is started.
