I am a very novice user of Abaqus. I am trying to find a way to get the equivalent applied (not reaction) nodal forces from an applied load from Abaqus so that I can run a scenario through a Fortran program on a supercomputer (not through Abaqus).
For instance, say that I create a cylindrical solid shape in Abaqus. I then apply a pressure on one of the end faces and fix the other end (ENCASTRE), and finally, I mesh it and create a job.
When I right click the job, choose Write Input, and open up the .inp file, the only load data that is listed for the load is:
** Name: Impact Type: Pressure
*Dsload
Surf-1, P, 1500.
which only tells me that there is a pressure load of 1500 applied to "Surf-1". Is there any way to get Abaqus to output a list of the nodes that correspond to "Surf-1" and the corresponding equivalent forces applied to those nodes? It doesn't have to be to the input file; it can be a separate text file.
