In summary, The user is trying to create a report of xy data in Abaqus CAE, but is facing KeyError:RF or KeyError:U errors. They have searched online for a solution, but have only found one person mentioning it as a bug in version 6.8.1, which is fixed in 6.8.3. However, the user is unable to update to the newer version due to network restrictions. The suggested workaround is to manually select the node and type of plot, and to access the actual numbers through the XY data manager and copy them into Excel. This is considered a way to bypass the bug.

I've done a very simple analysis of a truss in Abaqus CAE. I want to create a report of the xy data, but every time I try I'm confronted with 'KeyError:RF', or 'KeyError:U', depending on which xy data I'm trying to get at.

My search of google and Abaqus' online help has only led me to one guy who says this is a bug in Abaqus 6.8.1 and is fixed in 6.8.3. This is no use to me as I'm working on a network without admin privileges.

Does anyone have any insight?

thanks in advance

1 Create xy data
2 ODB field output
3 Select node
4 Select type of plot ie Unique nodal
5 Plot results

(If it doesn't work first time the node selection has gone so select again)

Then to get the actual numbers go to XY data manager tehn the plot should show, go to edit and you'll find the numbers that were plotted, highlight and copy these to excel. This is a way to get round the bug
