Abaqus: efficiently export large xy data set from Abaqus

I am trying to export XY data objects from sets of the size of 20-40k elements, but Abaqus is slowing down considerably, and even crashing. In fact, when I create the xy data, Abaqus gives me a warning saying that "the number of xyDataObjects is very large, and might cause performance issues". And so it does.

My usual procedure to is to create the xy data and then export in rpt format. Can someone suggest another method less prone to crashing? Would it be more efficient to divide the output element set into two or more subsets, and concatenate them after exporting?

The method recommended by @hgazibara in the comments is certainly sufficient, but it is laborious.

An easier method, I found, is a package called Abaqus2Matlab, which scrapes any variable you want from the odb. See here: http://www.abaqus2matlab.com/
