ABAQUS 6.12 extraction of large xy data sets

ABAQUS 6.12 extraction of large xy data sets

ABAQUS 6.12 extraction of large xy data sets

(OP)

I am experiencing a problem with Abaqus 6.12 which i never had using Abaqus 6.7. Large sets of xydata output requrests result in the message

'Requested operation will result in the creation of a very large number of xyDataObjects. Please reduce the number of specified entities using Display Group operations before re-performing this operation'.

OK, the process was slow on older ABQ versions, but it worked! Now its prohibited! Did someone find a work-around?

There is a closed thread started by MNS747 with the same issue, unresolved.

Regards

RE: ABAQUS 6.12 extraction of large xy data sets

Hi there,

I have written a python script to extract stress fields from *.odb files, there are a few requirements but it will prompt the user for a destination (or several) file and output as *.dat (or whatever text extension you wish).

Output data is for elements not nodes and you need to have a set of the elements you wish to analyze. Place the file in your working directory (where you have your *.odb file).

To run the file simply type
abaqus python s.py
in the command prompt.

Hopefully this will help and I'm sure you'll be able to adapt this to your requirements.

Regards

Thank you very much. I appreciate your help.
I find it unnecessary that they restricted the functionality of ABAQUS xy-data-extraction, and force you to puzzle with the python interface.

Regards,

Rainer
