This is the default option in Abaqus. If the ODB file contains only integration point results, the ODB reader in HyperView extrapolates the results to the element corner nodes in addition to the results for the integration points. Therefore, you get results for both Position = NODES and Position = Integration Points even if the ODB file only contains integration point results.
HyperView use the special suffix "IP" to distinguish integration point results from extrapolated element corner results. The ODB file does not contain information about the exact location of the integration points. Therefore, the nearest corner nodes are used to display the integration point results. The Display corner data option on the Contour panel must be selected to plot contours at these corner nodes. If the Display corner data option is off, all integration point results are averaged as the base result of the element and one uniform value per element is used for the contour plot.
| Note: | If the number of integration points is more than the number of nodes, only the integration points near the nodes are mapped. Similarly, if the number of integration points is lower than the number of nodes, an arithmetic average will be built from the neighboring integration points to show a value in between (e.g. for a 3 noded quadratic element). |
