Hello! I'm using your code as part of a larger code base. It works great for linear elastic experiments where there is only 1 time increment. However, when I do plastic experiments, the computation time to get the node COORD, U, and Element COORD, LE is very long due to the number of elements. What makes it way worse is the number of increments exacerbates this problem. Is there a way to retrieve only the outputs from the LAST increment? This also will be useful so I can distinguish the output of the last increment from the last increment of the step before. Thanks!

Hey, I read some of the previous posts but still kind of confused on how to extract values from a single node. Obviously this does not work: *FILE FORMAT, ASCII *NODE FILE, nset=ptest S, POR, COORD because the S,POR,COORD require element sets.. The problem is that my model is very complex and I do not know how to define the element set that immediately interacts with the single node coordinate I'm interested in. How would one go about this, and what would the .inp file look like.. something like this... *FILE FORMAT, ASCII *EL FILE, POSITION=AVERAGED AT NODES S, POR, COORD But how to define just a single node based on the elements near it?
