Python script for solidloft

(OP)
Dear all,

I am trying to created a lofted structure from know section points. However when
I test my trial script I always get the following error: "Open section is not
permissable for this loft feature"

Does any body have an idea on what i need to alter?

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards,


Kristof

trail script:

from abaqus import *
import testUtils
testUtils.setBackwardCompatibility()
from abaqusConstants import *
import sketch
import part

myModel = mdb.Model(name='Spline2Loft')

mySketch = myModel.ConstrainedSketch(name='Splines', sheetSize=200.0)

CoordsInner = ((0 , 10, 0), (10, 0, 0), (0, -10, 0),
(-10, 0, 0), (0 , 10, 0))

CoordsMiddle = ((0 , 10, 10), (10, 0, 10), (0, -10, 10),
(-10, 0, 10), (0 , 10, 10))

CoordsOuter = ((0 , 10, 20), (10, 0, 20), (0, -10, 20),
(-10, 0, 20), (0 , 10, 20))

myPart = myModel.Part(name='Spline2Loft', dimensionality=THREE_D,
type=DEFORMABLE_BODY)

myPart.WireSpline(points=CoordsInner, smoothClosedSpline=ON)

myPart.WireSpline(points=CoordsMiddle, smoothClosedSpline=ON)

myPart.WireSpline(points=CoordsOuter, smoothClosedSpline=ON)

e = myPart.edges

e1 = (e[0], e[1])
e2 = (e[1], e[2])

myPart.SolidLoft(loftsections=(e1, e2))
