Figure 1. The integration point numbering for a composite layup with three plies.
If you do not create an output request, Abaqus writes field output data from only the top and bottom of a composite layup (the highest and lowest integration points), and no data are generated from the other plies. Therefore, if your model contains a composite layup and you want data from individual plies or interior integration points, you must create a new output request or edit the default output request and specify the composite layup from which variables will be output. When you create an output request, Abaqus/CAE by default writes field and history data to the output database from only the middle section point in each ply of a composite layup. To change the default behavior, you can use the field and history output request editors to edit the output request and change the domain to a composite layup. You can then request field or history data from the top, middle, and/or bottom section point of each ply, from all section points, or from specified section points.
