Dear All,

I am using MAT/LAW22 . and I want to plot the damage vs time in time history file for every element. I tried to add local variable DAMA as a output block to TH/QUAD card but every time when I run the .rad file . It shows error related to this variable regarding 'no kinematics '.  I am unable to rectify this. 

Please help me
