Access of material properties in a solved odb
Access of material properties in a solved odb
(OP)
Hello,
i would like to access material properties from a solved odb. This is possible via *import odbMaterial and session.odbs[name].materials[name] (according to Chapter 26 of the abaqus scripting reference manual).
This works perfectly for my elastic/plastic material properties, but if i want to access the FLD data (the fld belongs to the DamageInitiation object 26.32) no data is shown. Since i defined the FLD material properties in the model and i should be able to access the FLD also from the odb.
Any hints why only the elastic/plastic material properties are accessible from the odb?
Thanks for any reply,
Det

RE: Access of material properties in a solved odb
I have not use FldDamageInitiation(...), but so far I could recover from the odb object any material info defined in mdb.
For example:
>>>print session.odbs['C:/Temp/trans_p100_E8-8_SY200_N1-INIT-T0-T1.odb'].materials['C1']
({'depvar': 'Depvar object', 'expansion': 'Expansion object', 'name': 'C1', 'userMaterial': 'UserMaterial object'})
>>>m=session.odbs['C:/Temp/trans_p100_E8-8_SY200_N1-INIT-T0-T1.odb'].materials['C1']
>>> print m.expansion
({'dependencies': 0, 'table': ((1e-06,),), 'temperatureDependency': OFF, 'type': ISOTROPIC, 'userSubroutine': OFF, 'zero': 0.0})

So i really don't know if it's a feature or a bug. Now i have to find a work around for the missing material properties.
