I want to calculate the maximum Green-Lagrange strain in a elastomeric seal. How to calculate it in Abaqus? Is any field output available for the same? or do I require to right a code?
The default strain output in Abaqus is green-lagrange strain..see
abaqus theory manual->introduction->strain measure
abaqus analysis manual -> introduction -> convention
Alternatively, you can request for deformation gradient in output (DG) and calculate
I am not sure though, this tips will help you to solve your problem.

Dear Abhimanyu Kumar
Thanks for the useful links. I am not able to find the DG output request. Is it directly available in field output request or we have to edit in inp file? Is it applicable in a axisymmetric model?
DG is available for hyperelastic material models. Check abaqus analysis manual->outputs->abaqus standard
