Can anyone tell me how I can obtain the burst pressure from abaqus output/results please.

I carried out simulations to predict the burst pressure of pipes using Abaqus. I applied internal pressure and the pipe actually busted as shown in the attachment. I requested for pressure to be outputted for nodes and elements sets under “force” in the field output request. When I viewed the result, pressure was not outputted for both the node and the element set. However, pressure was outputted under “stress” but this pressure under the stress has nothing to do with the internal pressure I applied as I observed that the same pressure was outputted for nodes in the tensile testing simulation I conducted, in which I only applied displacement and not pressure.

Can anyone tell me how I can obtain the burst pressure from abaqus output/results please.

Tha CAE file is as attched

Thank you Kazeem
