Element and output variable support

User-defined normals are not supported for gasket elements.
Slide line elements applied to asymmetric-axisymmetric models are always displayed in the $θ$ =0° plane, regardless of the specified $θ$ for the element.
Swept contour plots of CAXA elements may include colors that do not represent the current state at the nodes. Use of two Fourier modes improves the appearance, but for best results print the integration point values using ReportField Output.

See What kinds of elements must be generated outside the Mesh module?, for a description of element support in the Mesh module of Abaqus/CAE.

Table 1 and Table 2 list the output variables that are not supported by the Visualization module or the output database.
