You can monitor the total energies of the entire model in POST1 via the PRENERGY command. The total energy consists of elastic, kinetic, artificial hourglass/drill stiffness energy, and so on.

In POST26, you can use the ENERSOL command to store a specific energy item. Then, you can graph or list the specific energy item in the output file via the PLVAR or PRVAR command, respectively.
