What it does

Abaqus Output is an agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. Configure output requests - field outputs, history outputs. Use when user asks what results to save, output variables, reduce output file size, or history output.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `UPSTREAM.md` and `metadata.json`).

The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

User asks what results to save
Output variables
Reduce output file size

Example prompts

“/abaqus-output”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash(abaqus:*)

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Field vs History Output
Common Output Variables
Analysis-Specific Recommendations
Output Frequency
Identify Needed Variables
Create Field Output Request
Create History Output (if needed)
Manage File Size (large models)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 194ef49. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Read
- Write
- Edit
- Glob
- Grep
- Bash(abaqus:*)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Abaqus Output loads about 878 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 381 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~878

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Abaqus Output Skill

Configure what results to save from Abaqus analyses. Controls field outputs (full-field data for contour plots) and history outputs (time series at specific points).

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user mentions:

"What results should I save?" / "Output variables"
"Track displacement over time" / "History output"
"ODB file too large" / "Reduce output"
"Monitor a specific node"

Route elsewhere:

Extracting/reading results from ODB → /abaqus-odb
Running the analysis → /abaqus-job

Key Decisions

1. Field vs History Output

Type	Use For	Data Scope
Field Output	Contour plots, full-field visualization	All nodes/elements
History Output	Time series plots, monitoring	Specific points/regions

2. Common Output Variables

Variable	Description
S	Stress tensor (includes Mises)
U	Displacement
RF	Reaction forces
E	Total strain
PE, PEEQ	Plastic strain
V, A	Velocity, acceleration (dynamic)
NT, HFL	Temperature, heat flux (thermal)
CSTRESS, CDISP	Contact stress/displacement

3. Analysis-Specific Recommendations

Analysis Type	Essential Variables
Static	S, U, RF
Dynamic	S, U, V, A, RF, ENER
Thermal	NT, HFL, RFL
Contact	CSTRESS, CDISP, COPEN
Plastic	S, PE, PEEQ

4. Output Frequency

Scenario	Setting	Effect
Full detail	frequency=1	Every increment (large files)
Balanced	frequency=5-10	Every N increments
Space-saving	numIntervals=20	Fixed number of frames

What to Ask User

If unclear, ask:

What results do you need? Stress, displacement, reaction forces?
Track a specific point over time? → Need history output
Large model or long analysis? → May need reduced frequency

Show full SKILL.md (153 more words)Show less

Workflow: Configuring Output

Step 1: Identify Needed Variables

Based on analysis type: Static needs S, U, RF minimum. Dynamic adds V, A, energy.

Step 2: Create Field Output Request

Required: Step name + variables tuple. Optional: frequency, region.

Step 3: Create History Output (if needed)

For time-series: Create node set at location, then HistoryOutputRequest with that region. Use component variables (U1, U2, U3).

Step 4: Manage File Size (large models)

Options: Reduce frequency, use numIntervals, limit variables, output to specific regions only.

Validation Checklist

Field output covers essential variables (S, U, RF)
History output region/set exists before referencing
Frequency appropriate for analysis length
Contact analysis has contact-specific outputs

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Solution
"Variable not available"	Wrong element/analysis type	Check compatibility
ODB file too large	Too much output	Reduce frequency or variables
No history data	Bad region spec	Verify set exists
