How to save the editorial work on the contour plot?
(OP)
I open an *.odb using ABAQUS/Viewer and do a series of editorial work so that the contour plot is displayed in the way I like. Now I want to save the edited contour plot so that I can open it next time and possibly put some more editorial work on it.
Does anyone know how I can save the edited contour layout?
Thanks in advance.

Rename the .rpy file to something else (.rpy) to prevent it from being over written in future sessions.

If I need to find the Python script for a particular Viewer command, I 'tail' the abaqus.rpy file in a command window alongside the viewer session. You can then see the Python command in the .rpy file as you click in Viewer.

That sounds useful. You can find a free version by googling mTAIL for a free (non-commercial) copy. It only saves the last 10 lines of the file, however, but is useful to see what is produced at the time it is typed in rather than trying to guess from looking at the final full .rpy file
