Hi all,

please give me an idea(script) to create a "DROPDOWN MENU" dialog box to extract User input in abaqus. By using getInput, I can ask for the same but I want to do it using dropdown dialog box.

 thanks in advance 

I have extracted field output from ABAQUS odb file and I want to take log of that field. In ABAUQS scripting manual, in section 9.8.2 it has been mentioned that

               log10(field output)= field output

 When I am trying to do this compilation gives me error. "a float value required"

Please guide me if i am making any mistake

Also if possible, suggest how can I get rid of this problem? 

Hello

I am reading an abaqus odb which is solved for 2 time steps 'step1' and 'step2' and i want to read  the output at every last frame of these steps.  further, I have written python script to find change in dispacement. I have written this code which works fine to capture delta displacement

f1=odb.steps['step1'].frames[-1].fieldOutputs['U']
f2=odb.steps['step2'].frames[-1].fieldOutputs['U']

deltaf=f2-f1
