AbaqusScripting package

This subpackage allows the user to use inPy directly in abaqus, to use the scripting mode, you need to copy the inPy folder in $SIMULIA\Abaqus614\6.14-1\tools\SMApy\python2.7\Lib it should also work with $SIMULIA\Abaqus614\6.14-1\tools\SMApy\python2.6\Lib)

AbaqusScripting.inPy_Abq_Classes module

class AbaqusScripting.inPy_Abq_Classes.ASBeamMesh(Namestr, ElemType, Radius, TypeStr, PosStr, NodeList=[], ElemList=[], Node0=1, Elem0=1)

Bases: inPy.Classes.FEM.BeamMesh

This class is the inPy.AbaqusScripting equivalent of the BeamMesh class in inPy. All the attributes are similar and the methods are herited from the inPy.node class

A new method is introduced to generate a beam directly in abaqus

Generate()

class AbaqusScripting.inPy_Abq_Classes.ASnode(X, Y, Z, ID)

Bases: inPy.Classes.FEM.node

This class is the inPy.AbaqusScripting equivalent of the node class in inPy. All the attributes are similar and the methods are herited from the inPy.node class

A new method is introduced to generate a node directly in abaqus

Generate()

AbaqusScripting.inPy_Abq_Classes.random() → x in the interval [0, 1).

AbaqusScripting.inPy_Abq_Functions module

AbaqusScripting.inPy_Abq_Functions.FrameGen(step, odb)

RAM, RAM never changes, The end of the program occurred pretty much as we had predicted. Too many steps, too many nodes, not enough space or resources to go around. The details are trivial and pointless, the reasons, as always, purely computational ones.

Joke’s aside, I needed to implement this to avoid overloading the ram on systems with a low amount of ram or very large projects

AbaqusScripting.inPy_Abq_Functions.random() → x in the interval [0, 1).

AbaqusScripting.inPy_Abq_Functions.toFile(odb, stepName, FieldName, Filename, Ext='txt', Separator=None, Verbose=True)

Write the chosen field output in a text file as a tableself. The header will specify the fieldOutput reference (for example “S” for the stress)

[Parameters] odb –> odb object as defined by the abaqus API stepName –> String that will be used to call the step in Abaqus FieldName –> String that will be used to ask in the abaqus API for the fieldoutput needed TODO: make that if a list is given, multiple output files will be created FileName –> string to specify the filename

[Optional parameters] Ext default to “txt”, used to specify the extension of the created file Verbose default to True, if set to False, Remove the printed lines

[Not yet implemented parameters] Separator default to None. will be used in the future to make csv files for example
