New to Abaqus - What is the different between scripting (.py) and input files (.inp)
(OP)
I am new to Abaqus but have experince in Ansys. I would like to use MATLAB to generate some sort of input (.py or .inp) for Abaqus to run. I plan to use MATLAB to change parameters and optimize based on results. What I am getting lost in is I keep seeing stuff about "scripting" which references .py files and python coding and seems to have a different syntax when compared to .inp which seems like basic input files. What is what? Also is there a good reference/glossary of all the .inp commands and their syntax? Is there a good getting started guide? Every tutorial I find is either about the GUI or is three steps ahead of where I currently am.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

What is a .inp vs a .py?

This is all pretty basic and explained in the manual. Input file keywords (not commands) can be found in the keyword manual.

I am sure I will be back with questions, but off to a better start now.
