The data type names without the "IP" suffix contain the centroidal tensor results as the base result. The Abaqus ODB reader reads these values directly from the ODB file and assigns them to the center of each element. One uniform value per element is used for the contour plot. In this case, the Display corner data option is enabled on the Contour panel. When selected, extrapolated corner data of the integration points is displayed.
Note: | Integration point results are always available in the ODB file. |
