Abaqus Output Skill

Configure what results to save from Abaqus analyses. Controls field outputs (full-field data for contour plots) and history outputs (time series at specific points).

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user mentions:

• "What results should I save?" / "Output variables"
• "Track displacement over time" / "History output"
• "ODB file too large" / "Reduce output"
• "Monitor a specific node"

Route elsewhere:

• Extracting/reading results from ODB → /abaqus-odb
• Running the analysis → /abaqus-job

Key Decisions

1. Field vs History Output
