Hi, 

I am trying to write a python script to extract field data from my rolling simulation in Abaqus/Standard. The .rpy file gives the following line when I manually take out what I want:

session.writeFieldReport(fileName='Job.csv', append=ON, 
sortItem='Node Label', odb=odb, step=2, frame=20, outputPosition=NODAL, 
variable=(('U', NODAL, ((COMPONENT, 'U1'), (COMPONENT, 'U2'), )), ('LE', 
INTEGRATION_POINT, ((COMPONENT, 'LE11'), (COMPONENT, 'LE22'), (COMPONENT, 
'LE12'), )), ('S', INTEGRATION_POINT, ((INVARIANT, 'Mises'), (COMPONENT, 
'S11'), (COMPONENT, 'S22'), (COMPONENT, 'S12'), )), ), stepFrame=SPECIFY)

I chose the output position as UNIQUE NODAL as I want the values of all of these components at the nodes. I don't know why the LE and S components say `INTEGRATION_POINT' though. Is this just where they are calculated but they are averaged out to the nodes somehow? Can someone tell me how the values at the single integration point (CPE4R elements) get averaged to the nodes please?
