Hello, I am new to abaqus scripting. I am trying to extract displacement at a node using a python script. I access the node in this way (this is borrowed from examples in abaqus documentation on abaqus scripting):

odb = openOdb(path='mymodel1.odb')  #open mymodel1.odb
endSet = odb.rootAssembly.instances['TARGET-1'].nodes[3]  #select node 3 of instance 'TARGET-1'
histPoint = HistoryPoint(node=endSet)  # assign it as history point
tipHistories = odb.steps['Step-1'].getHistoryRegion(
point=histPoint)

I am trying to access node 3 of part 'TARGET-1'. However, when I run this I get the error 'HistoryRegion not found'. The input file has history output requested via the following commands:

** HISTORY OUTPUT: H-Output-1
** 
*Output, history, variable=PRESELECT

Is there something I am missing. I have extensively searched on google and Abaqus documentation about this problem but I am unable to figure out what else I need to define in the input file to access the history output for that node. I run into a similar problem if I use abaqus odbreport.

Thank you.
