i think you can  plot ( deflection-time) & ( Load-time) diagrams   , then  send output data from (diagrams) to Excel and cut  Load-deflection date (delete  time column)

and plot it (deflection-load )_because ( incremental )time is equal for output result 

I hope this helps  _  Best Regards

If I remember correctly, you can do this using the "XY Data" option in one in the menu of the visualisation module. You can select the input and field outputs. Hope this helps.

If you want to plot the global behaviour of your specimen and it is not homogeneous stress/strain, you need to define a Reference point. Connect this reference point with the surface where you apply the tension by choosing a Constraint in Abaqus interactions. Once you do this, you can define a History Output for this specific point and get the Reaction forces and Displacements. If you do all of this, at the end you can use the XY Data to plot your force displacement curve.

I hope this helps

Hi @Hojjat Badnava

What is the meaning of the reaction force in case of tensile testing ? I mean.. the reaction force is the sum of the forces at nodes at the cross head or force at any node at cross head for load-disp diagram. 

@ Ranjan Kumar Behera, if you are still wondering, in the above answer the reaction forces are nodal. But instead one can couple a reference point to the end cross sectional surface (other end being constrained) and request the force-displacement at that point. The output from that when combined, is what you are looking for.

Cheers!
