Incrementation

The Status table contents depend on whether you are viewing diagnostic information for an Abaqus/Standard or Abaqus/Explicit analysis step. For an Abaqus/Standard step the table displays each increment along with the number of attempts, the number of severe discontinuity and equilibrium iterations, the total number of iterations, the step time, and the increment size. For an Abaqus/Explicit step the table displays all summary increments and any additional increments for which diagnostic information was recorded. The critical element, the stable time increment for that element, the elapsed step time, the total time, and the kinetic energy are also listed for each increment. For more information on incrementation diagnostics in Abaqus/Explicit, see Explicit dynamic analysis.

If you select a column of data and click Plot selected column, Abaqus/CAE creates an X–Y plot using the increment number (first column) for the X-axis and the selected column for the Y-axis.

Note:

You cannot plot the critical element numbers.
