12.5 Magnitude output of vector nodal variables

Product: Abaqus/Explicit

Benefits: You can now output the magnitude of translational vector nodal quantities for displacement, velocity, acceleration, and reaction force.

Description: Four new nodal output variables have been introduced: spatial displacement magnitude UMAG, spatial velocity magnitude VMAG, spatial acceleration magnitude AMAG, and reaction force magnitude RFMAG. These new output variables are available for history output requests.
