After you specify the job name and the name for the output (generated) datebase, you are presented with a screen full of checkboxes for the input. Make sure you check "elements" here.

Thanks for your reply ,

But i am not very clear with your reply.

Here are the steps what i have followed
1.I gone to config setup and changed my data output to ODBC

2.I have a given a file name for exporting the caesar op.
( i am giving a filename here but not showing anything as you said)

3.Then i runned the caesar and opened the .mdb file and it is showing the
OUTPUT_DISPLACEMENTS,OUTPUT_GLOBAL_ELEMENT_FORCES,
OUTPUT_LOCAL_ELEMENT_FORCES ,OUTPUT_STRESSES
but not the
INPUT_BASIC_ELEMENT_DATA,INPUT_ALLOWABLES
INPUT_BENDS,INPUT_DISPLMNT

I am using a caesar 5.0 newer build

I'd recommend not doing the ODBC export this way. The reason is because:

a) Every run you make in this directory goes to a database. This is typically not necessary until you're satisfied with the job.

b) You have no choice over what goes into the database - all reports for all load cases are exported.

c) You don't get input data, only the analysis results.

Do I would turn this option off. When you're ready to export data to a database, use "\tools\external interfaces\data export wizard". You have much more control over what goes into the database using this method.
