(OP)
Hi

I am about to start using ABACUS, but have been using ANSYS for last 4 years.

I want to know if there is anything similar to APDL (ANSYS Programming Language) in ABACUS. Also which languages are used for modelling in ABACUS alternate to GUI.

Thanks and Regards
Yash

RE: Log file and programming

staryash,

ABAQUS (not abacus!) uses the Python scripting language, which is developed independently of Abaqus and is relatively quite widely used by various software vendors.

RE: Log file and programming

Just to clarify, the ABAQUS Scripting Interface (ASI) extends Python (to give it ABAQUS-specific commands). To get your first taste of it, just use ABAQUS/CAE normally and then have a look at the abaqus.rpy file that is automatically generated. It will be in your start up directory. There's extensive documentation of the ASI and the GUI toolkit (which is also Python-based) available.
