Total energy output

You can request total energy variable output to the results or output database file. All of these variables are written when total energy output is requested. Energy history totals can be requested to the output database for part of the model as well as the whole model.

The output variables listed below are available in Abaqus/Explicit.

ALLAE
.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

“Artificial” strain energy associated with constraints used to remove singular modes (such as hourglass control) and with constraints used to make the drill rotation follow the in-plane rotation of the shell elements.

Energy dissipated by viscoelasticity. (Not supported for hyperelastic and hyperfoam material models with linear viscoelasticity.)

.fil: yes  .odb Field: no  .odb History: yes  

Total energy dissipated through frictional effects. (Available only for the whole model).
