Abaqus .odb file format

Abaqus .odb file format

(OP)

Dear All,

I'm working on molecular mechanics and FEM, I got abaqus x.odb file and I want to extract eigenvector for every single mode which will help me in next step to compute protein B-factor (Boltzman factor).

I order to do that, I need to know the .odb file format which will be helpfull for me to write my code to extract the mode.

Thank you in adavance for your response.

RE: Abaqus .odb file format

You've probably already figured out that it is a binary file. That being said I don't think Simulia has published the format so I don't think you can get that information out of an ODB file using a 3rd party tool. If you have Abaqus you can pull information out using the Python scripting language in Abaqus. There are examples in the help file. If you don't have Abaqus I don't think there is a way.
