Hello all, 

in Abaqus explicit I have applied a moment to the top layer of a 3 layer cylinder over 3 seconds, fixed at the opposite end, with material properties that differ in each layer. I am interested in plotting torque vs angle of twist for the middle layer. What field outputs should I request so I can then plot the moment as a function of time and the spacial displacement (U) as a function of time?

I wish to then operate on the XY data and plot the torque as a function of spacial displacement (which I know how to do and can just convert spacial displacement ->radians->degrees in Excel once I export the data using Excel Utilities).

Side note: When I apply a prescribed rotational displacement, I can get the torque from the reaction moment field output (RM). I wish to prescribe and apply a moment, then plot the torque as a function of time so I can later evaluate how introducing internal structures affect the displacement of the applied moment creates. 

Kind regards, 

RP
