Records written once per increment

This section describes the format of the individual records in the Abaqus results file.

Record format: records written once per increment

2000 Increment start record
  1. Total time.
  2. Step time.
  3. Maximum creep strain-rate ratio (control of solution-dependent amplitude) in Abaqus/Standard; currently not used in Abaqus/Explicit.
  4. Solution-dependent amplitude in Abaqus/Standard; currently not used in Abaqus/Explicit.
  5. Procedure type: gives a key to the step type. See Table 1 at the end of this section.
  6. Step number.
  7. Increment number.
  8. Linear perturbation flag in Abaqus/Standard: 0 if general step, 1 if linear perturbation step; currently not used in Abaqus/Explicit.
  9. Load proportionality factor: nonzero only in static Riks steps; currently not used in Abaqus/Explicit.
  10. Frequency (cycles/time) in a steady-state dynamic response analysis or steady-state transport angular velocity (rad/time) in a steady-state transport analysis; currently not used in Abaqus/Explicit.
  11. Time increment.
  12. Attributes 12–21. The step subheading entered as the first data line of the STEP option (A8 format). Equivalent to the step description in Abaqus/CAE.

Note:

When binary format is used, the results file is written in blocks of 512 words for each increment. If there are fewer than 512 words in the last block of the current increment, record 2001 has zeros appended to it so that the total length of the block is 512. Hence, the length of record 2001 is 2 + the number of zeros appended. For an ASCII format results file record 2001 is extended to complete an 80 character logical record, and a logical record of 80 blank characters is added after this record. See Accessing the results file information.

The following record is written once per increment, after all data records have been written for that increment.
