Record written for any energy file output request

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

The following topics are discussed:

When you do not specify an element set for which energy output is being requested in Abaqus/Standard, record 1999 provides values summed over the entire model; when you specify an element set for energy output, record 1999 provides values summed over all the elements in the specified element set. You can distinguish between a whole model 1999 energy record and an element set 1999 energy record by searching for a 1911 output request definition record containing the element set name; this 1911 record will be written just before the element set 1999 energy record. This 1911 record also has the first attribute set to 3 to indicate element set output. In Abaqus/Explicit you cannot specify selected element sets for an energy output request; record 1999 provides the total energies for the whole model.
