extract output/process it/update geometry

extract output/process it/update geometry

extract output/process it/update geometry

(OP)
hi
i'm new to abaqus.
what i wanna do is to extract a certain output, process this output in matlab (preferably), or python, or something else,  get the results from matlab and update the geometry of my object to run a second simulation in abaqus, and so on. all this in an automatized way. i guess i'd have to use some kind of remeshing. it is not an option to do it manually, so i'd be very thankful if somebody could suggest me a way to do this. i'm not sure i've explained myself correctly, but my knowledge of this stuff is pretty limited.
thanks a lot!

RE: extract output/process it/update geometry

Hi there,

all of the things you describe (extracting output and do parametric studies) can be done using scripts.

You can find a detailed description of parametric studies in chapter 16 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Manual and more information about the python scripts in general you can find in the Abaqus Scripting manuals.

I hope this gets you started.

RE: extract output/process it/update geometry

thank you very much jeroenVW, i appreciate your interest and attempt to help.
unfortunately my knowledge of abaqus is close to zero and so is my experience with programming languages of any kind (except for matlab), so, if it's possible to find it, i'm looking for a little more specific explanation of what i could do. i see the possibility of extracting outputs, but i'm not sure i see how i can process them and update the geometry of my model for a next simulation in an automatized way. hoping to get some help...
