I want to increase the number of history output but getting limitation error. It seems that this can be changed in the setting, but I could not find any file for this purpose. Any idea how to fix it? I know number of increments can be varied, but I I need it at smaller increments and don't mind the file size.
"The number of history output requests (1exce00001) in this analysis step has exceeded 10x the maximum value of 10000 specified by the Abaqus environment "?
Cheers,
Define this in the abaqus_v6.env encironment file.
It is explained in the installation and site guide:
max_history_requests
This parameter specifies the maximum number of history requests allowed in an Abaqus analysis. The default value is 10,000. History output in Abaqus is intended for relatively frequent output requests for small portions of a model and is displayed in X–Y plots in the Visualization module of Abaqus/CAE (Abaqus/Viewer). Requesting large amounts of history output will cause performance problems in both analysis and postprocessing of an Abaqus job. For vector- or tensor-valued output variables, each component is considered to be a single request. In the case of element variables, history output will be generated at each integration point. For example, requesting history output of the tensor variable S (stress) for a C3D10M element will generate 24 history output requests: (6 components) × (4 integration points). When requesting history output of vector- and tensor-valued variables, it is recommended that individual components be selected where applicable. In cases where large amounts of history output are required, it is recommended that the data be written to the output database (.odb) as field output from which history data can be extracted using the Visualization module of Abaqus/CAE.
Thank Martin, I will try this.
Apart form this, is there any other way to change the default value in the setting somewhere?
cheers,
Douread,
I did not mean that, I am looking for increasing memory size so I can have multiple outputs with small increments.
