odbreport command. histregion not found
odbreport command. histregion not found
(OP)
Hi guys,
I'm using the command "abaqus odbreport" in order to obtain displacement results of a single node. I need that because I need the values of displacement of each increment of the step, in order to create a XYplot.
What I type is this:
abaqus odbreport job=study history=U2 step='plot' histregion=Node3
but then python tell me that the history name Node3 is not found in spet plot.
What is wrong? Should I define the region in the plot? How do I do that in the input file?
thanks a lot!

RE: odbreport command. histregion not found
abaqus odbreport job=study history step=plot
Now open the report and look in it. Here you'll find the way you have to access the node. When you use this, it may look like this:
abaqus odbreport job=study history=U2 step=plot histregion="Node PART-1-1.3"

Unfortunately running only "abaqus odbreport job=study history step=plot" doesn't give me information. I tried to run "abaqus odbreport job=study field=U step=plot" and it gives me this for each increment:

Running "abaqus odbreport job=study field=U2 step=plot histregion="Node PART-1-1.3" it still tell me that Node PART-1-1.3 is not found in step "plot"
What's wrong? Should I bettere define something in the input file? In the history output or in the field output?

Thanks again your comments were very useful
RE: odbreport command. histregion not found
Running all the odbreports command through a batch file is simple. Creating such a batch file can be done automatically with this script. You just have to adjust the 'call' option in there to fit your odbreport command.
Store that script in the same directory where all your odbs are and run it here. Afterwards you'll find the batch file you could run.
CODE -->
import os odblist = [] path = os.getcwd() joblist = os.listdir(path) for xfile in joblist: if xfile.endswith('.odb'): odblist.append(xfile) output=file('queue-parstudy.bat', 'w') for name in odblist: xname=name.split('.')[0] print >> output, 'call abaqus odbreport job='+xname+' history step=Step-1' output.close()But then you have all these reports and have to deal with them. You could use python (or any other language) to grab the data you need from the reports (or with python directly from the odb) and print them in a common csv-file, so you could easily bring it to Excel and create xy plots.

your script works! thanks a lot. now since it's a parametric study I have many odb file, named study_c1, study_c2, study_c3 .... To create the rep file of all of that, shall I insert a for loop into your script? Sorry if this could be a banal question, but I'm a materials engineer and this is the first time I'm using software and informatics languages
