The 'SDEG' variable can be extracted from the odb file as field and/or history data and in some analysis types from the results (*.fil) file.
To extract the 'SDEG' variable for all steps, frames and element sets in an odb file, please specify the following command:
[odbOut,odbDat,rpyOut]=readElementFieldOdb('FILENAME.odb', 'None', 'None', 'None', 'SDEG', 'True');
where FILENAME is the name of the odb file without its extension. odbOut will contain the values of SDEG.
Note that the 'SDEG' output is written in the element integration points and not at the nodes. Extrapolation from the element integration points to the element nodes can be done in the case when the results are written in the results (*.fil) file for specific options in the Abaqus input file.
