Abaqus - Accessing applied amplitude through history output

Hi all,

I've implemented a UAMP subroutine in Abaqus. I would like to know the values for applied pressure at each time step. Currently, I am just writing the values to a text file through basic Fortran commands.

Is there a better 'official' way of accessing the current solution dependent amplitude? 

According to the documentation it is possible to access the current solution dependent amplitude (AMPCU) through the history output, see image. However, it does not appear when I check the history outputs, even though it says it is 'automatic'.

Do I have to add anything to the input file? Or are there any methods one would recommend?

Thanks,

Ieuan
