Postprocessing of user elements and user element output in abaqus 6.10

postprocessing

Hi

I have made a user element, UEL of a cohesive zone element. which is a 8 noded brick element with zero thickness. After solving models using this element I would like postprocess the model in abaqus CAE 6.10 in the way that I am able to:

  1. Plot element and node labels
  2. Plot undeformed user elements together with the rest of the elements model
  3. Plot deformed user elements together with the rest of the elements model
  4. Plot any of the SVARS values element wise

I have searched for an answer to this on existing forum discussions and in the abaqus manual but I did not find any solution. 

Thanks in advance for you help. 

Best regards
