Define Field Output Requests

In order to use Abaqus/Viewer to examine the fiber and matrix failure states and the global cycles to failure generated by Simulation Composite Analysis, you must request that state variables (SDV) be printed in the Abaqus output (.odb) file.

1. Open the Edit Field Output Request dialog box by selecting Output > Field Output Requests > Manager from the main toolbar and selecting Edit in the dialog box that appears.
2. Modify the selected output requests so that only S, E, and U are shown.
3. Add SDV to the list of Output Variables by checking the SDV box as shown below. The state variables will now be printed in the Abaqus output (.odb) file.
4. Click OK.
