Hi Everyone,

In Abaqus ODB API, while using addData() method with a set, it is important to sort the node or element labels in the set in ascending order and must be specified in the same order as the values provided for the data argument. If the elements and nodes are created using addElements() or addNodes() methods in the ODB API then adding nodes or elements not in ascending order of their labels may cause Abaqus/Viewer to plot contours incorrectly. Users must also sort the nodes and elements in addNodes() and addElements() methods respectively.

Thanks
