DEFINITION
STRAIN defines the effective strain of each element of an object.
REMARKS
The keyword format varies depending on strain output selection made at ELMNOD. For element output (ELMNOD = 0) option, effective strain at the centroid of each element is written. For dual output (ELMNOD = 2) option, effective strain at the centroid of element and at node are written. For integration point (ELMNOD = 3) option, effective strain values at four integration points in element are written. Applicable object types: Plastic, Elastoplastic, and Porous
