Command to output displacement to one file

[sanshi2000]

Is there any command to output displacment of some selected nodes specified by their no. to one files rather than Oxxxx? Based on my understanding, the 'disp list li' could only output values of less than 100 nodes to the Oxxxx file. However, now I am hoping to get a files only including displacment of selected nodes. Do I need have a user subroutine to do that? Thanks very much for your time.

You can do this with the TPLOt command.  It allows you to output a given dof on a given node at each time-step to a separate file.  Please see the manual for details.

Thanks a lot. I used TPLOT, which is useful to give the info of several selectd nodes at each time step. However, what I need is only information at last time step of many selected nodes. Any idea on that?

If you just want the last time step (out of many), I would write the values to the Oxxx file and then have a separate program (say and awk script) that pulls out the necessary information.

More complicated way would be to time step up to the final time minus delta-t.  Then issue your tplot command.  Then take one more time step.
