*PREPRINT *DEPVAR
Coordinate Systems
ABAQUS Card *SYSTEM *TRANSFORM TYPE and NSET Supported Parameters Notes On export, each system card is followed by the nodes defined in that coordinate system. During export, each *TRANSFORM card references an automatically generated *NSET card through the NSET parameter. This *NSET card is followed by a list of the nodes assigned to the coordinate system. The NAME of the ORIENTATION card is automatically assigned as the name of the systcol containing this coordinate system. Because of this, each ORIENTATION system should be placed in its own separate system collector.
*ORIENTATION
Altair Engineering
*ORIENTATION with DEFINITION = NODES option is converted to COORDINATES upon feinput. *ORIENTATION with SYSTEM = Z RECTANGULAR is converted to RECTANGULAR upon feinput.
NOTE
The default card image for a local coordinate system is a *SYSTEM card. *TRANSFORM card images are not available for review inside HyperMesh.
Altair Engineering
6. Select the ORIENTATION option from the menu. 7. If necessary, select the locdir_alpha option to define an additional rotation. Note The NAME for the *ORIENTATION card is automatically set using the name of the system collector containing the local coordinate system. Because of this, a separate system collector should be created for each new *ORIENTATION card. This NAME is used to tie the *ORIENTATION card to various property cards by typing the name of the system collector into the property card image.
Nodes
ABAQUS Card *NODE Supported Parameters NSET and SYSTEM Notes The NSET parameter is supported only for feinput. A new node set is created during import to maintain the set definition and a corresponding *NSET card is written. The SYSTEM parameter is created
Altair Engineering
automatically during export based upon the type of reference coordinate system that is assigned to the nodes. The card image for a node is displayed in global Cartesian coordinates in HyperMesh.
Components
To define element properties, create and edit a component entity with the appropriate card image and place the elements belonging to that property into that component. ABAQUS Card *BEAM GENERAL SECTION Supported Parameters ELSET, DENSITY, DEPENDENCIES, POISSON, ZERO, SECTION= BOX, CIRC, PIPE, GENERAL, HEX, ELBOW, NONLINEAR GENERAL, RECT, I-SECTION, LSECTION, TRAPEZOID, ARBITRARY *BEAM SECTION ELSET, MATERIAL, POISSON, SECTION=BOX, CIRC, PIPE, HEX, I-SECTION, L-SECTION, ELBOW, RECT, TRAPEZOID, ARBITRARY *MEMBRANE SECTION ELSET, MATERIAL, ORIENTATION, NODAL THICKNESS, POISSON ORIENTATION, ELSET, DENSITY, MATERIAL, COMPOSITE, USER, OFFSET, Notes Only one *BEAM GENERAL SECTION card is output per component. Therefore, the beam elements in each component must have the same cross-sectional properties. Sub-options *CENTROID, *SHEAR CENTER, *AXIAL, *THERMAL EXPANSION are supported. Only one *BEAM SECTION card is output per component. Therefore, the beam elements in each component must have the same cross-sectional properties. Sub-option *HOURGLASS STIFFNESS is supported. Sub-option *HOURGLASS STIFFNESS is supported.

*SOLID SECTION
Sub-option *HOURGLASS STIFFNESS is supported. This is the *RIGID BODY card as supported in ABAQUS 5.8. The new ABAQUS 6.2 options will be added in a future release. Not in Explicit template. Only one *MASS card is output per component. Therefore, the mass elements in each component must have the same properties. Only one *ROTARY INERTIA card is output per component. Therefore, the mass elements in each component must have the same properties. Only one *SPRING card is output per component. Therefore, the spring elements in each component must have the same properties. When the *SPRING card is written for SPRING1 elements, both dof1 and dof2 are written, but ABAQUS only reads dof1. For SPRINGA elements, choose the SPRINGA option in the *SPRING card image.
*RIGID BODY
*ROTARY INERTIA
*SPRING
*DASHPOT
Only one *DASHPOT card is output per component. Therefore, the spring elements in each component must have the same properties. When the *DASHPOT card is written for DASHPOT1 elements, both dof1 and dof2 are written, but ABAQUS only reads dof1.
Altair Engineering
For DASHPOTA elements, choose the DASHPOTA option in the *DASHPOT card image. *GAP ELSET Only one *GAP card is output per component. Therefore, the gap elements in each component must have the same properties. Not in Explicit template. *JOINT ELSET, ORIENTATION Only one *JOINT card is output per component. Therefore, the spring elements in each component must have the same properties. The *SPRING and *DASHPOT cards in the *JOINT property behave the same way as the individual cards mentioned above. See the How do I section below for more information. Not in Explicit template.
NOTE
Only one type of card image can be loaded into each component collector. Each component should contain only elements appropriate to the loaded card image. Properties for BEAM GENERAL SECTION, SECTION = GENERAL, and NONLINEAR GENERAL can be entered manually or tied to a HyperBeam beam cross section. For more information, see HyperBeam. A User Comments block is supported for all components. See below for information on how to add comments to any component card image. These comments will be preserved during import and export of the ABAQUS input deck.

can turn on the first N of them using -nsdv. (default off) Turns on the first <number> state variables (max of 20). If you list both individual state variables and also the -nsdv option, the listed ones are the only ones processed. You can get complete compatibility with older versions by using "-nsdv 20". (default off)
In addition, the following parameters are also available when the results translation is not performed on the analysis machine and when the results file is binary. One of these parameters may need to be specified to indicate where the analysis result file was created.
