Python code to generate RPT files

Python code to generate RPT files

Python code to generate RPT files

(OP)
Hey everyone,

I have generated 100s of .odb files using Python by varying certain parameters. Now how do I generate rpt file for each of them? I need to obtain this file because it contains the total strain energy of my model. Extracting strain energy of each element is not possible because I've 10000+ elements. Basically, I need strain energy for each element in my rpt file alone with the total for each odb file.

Thanks in advance.

Ive a 2D model and I wish to extract the sum of strain energy by adding strain energy of each element. I found that the rpt file, when generated in the CAE contains this sum.

Hey Ice,

You rule :D thanks for the quick answer. It was just what i wanted. thank you thank you

Hey Ice,

If I include a connector element like nonlinear spring, will ALLSE include the SE of the spring also? If it does, how can I extract SE of model and SE of spring seperately?

Thanks in adnvace

RE: Python code to generate RPT files

Hellow . I am a man from Abaqus Group. I need a little help if you can do this for me....
I am beginner in using abaqus and i have a problem in interpretation of results.
I have to understand the Equivalent Plastic Strain at integration Point PEEK.
I n the last incremement i have the value for this parameter 2.179e+00. what means this value?
My model in in meters.
How i can interpretate this value? it is a abberant value ? I found in Abaqus help but i didn`t find any interpretation there...
Thnaks you very much

dlkk, forgive me if im wrong, but this is what i think it might be

Abaqus doesnt use any units. Whatever value your modeled in, will the final result. EG: if i model in meters, apply force in newtons, then my stress will be N/m^2.

Hope it helped!
