Abaqus python script

I am building a big model to select some specific elements using Python script in Abaqus Cae. The script runs quickly and the result is as expected in a small model. However, the computational efficiency in a bigger model is very low. The script has run 18 days in a Linux workstation with noGUI command. Are there any methods to set parallel computation in Abaqus cae? Thanks in advance.

hi,

I am doing static stress analysis. in my problem, I have to update my input file after each increment. so for updating the input file, I have to do some calculation depend on the output of the previous increment result. for these calculations, I have to call the odb file after each increment, do some calculations, update the input file and the process will go on. I have written a python script for the calculations from the odb file but don't know how to use this script after each increment.

thank you

Hi,

I am trying to generate an element based surface in Abaqus using python scripts. I need to create this surface in order to create an offset layer of solid elements using the offset mesh method in the edit mesh dialogue. It is not possible to use this feature using geometry based surfaces. The surface that I would like to generate is not all in one plane, I think this may add to my difficulty (see image, part). If I were able to generate an element based surface from a geometry based surface this would also work for me as I can easily generate a geometry based surface.

Hello. 

I'm looking to create a simple ODB file using my model in session so that I can display an orientation tensor in a custom field.  I'm able to create an ODB for a 2d part (made of s4 elements), but my system crashes whenever I load the ODB for my 3d part (made of c3d8 elements).

Here is my script. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

from abaqusConstants import * 

from odbAccess import *

from textRepr import *

odb = Odb(name='4',

    analysisTitle='derived data',

    description='test problem',

Hi everyone,

I would like to evaluate the stress value (e.g  Mises) at a given point (x, y, z) within a 3D model. I cannot force this point to be a node. The problem is modeled with Element Type (C3D4).

Is there a built-in command I can issue in the input file of Abaqus to have Abaqus output the desired value to the output file?

Or, is there a python script I can use for this purpose?

Thank you,

Does anyone know how to execute a python function in abaqus?

 For a script, I know the folllowing command can execute the python script

abaqus cae script=myscript.py

But for a python function, how to execute it in abaqus?

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!
