You can either export the unique nodal data using the .rpt format or you can write a Python script to export the data (and do any manipulation of data).
Please refer to thread799-178458 for more information.
Sorry, but I don't know much about custom visualizations.
You are right. I just shifted the indice by 1 and it worked.
# write points
for i in range( numNodesTotal ):
curNode = my_part_instance.nodes[i]
defNodePos = dispField.values[i+1].data
outFile.write( '\n' )
for j in range( 3 ):
outFile.write( str(...
My guess is the error is in the for loop that writes the outFile. Someone that has more Python programming experience than myself will probably see this error right away.
xerf,
I did not know that, but nonetheless I am not accessing or outputing the node.label. I know the first entry in the output .txt file for dx,dy,dz corresponds to node 2 (not node 1 as it should) because I am looking at the .inp file and the .rpt file that I maunally created. Even if the...
brep,
I hope this is my last question regarding this problem, but I thought I had everything working great until I ran my Python script to get the node and nodal displacement data and compared the resulting .txt file to the .rpt file that I manually exported from ABAQUS. I will try to...
cdeepakroy,
Thanks for posting this code snippet. I would like to use this code to write the exact same data to a .txt or .xls file so I don't have to manually parse the data which is way too time consuming. However, when I tried to implement the code and run the script I get a KeyError in...
Thanks brep, but the problem I have with this explanation is that if I view the material orientation in the visualization window when I use the second approach I see a huge mess of orientation vectors that show 0's, 45's and -45's. Does that mean the presence of the layers with the correct...
I am modeling a fairly simple composite box beam that has a balanced, symmetric layup (-45,45,0,45,-45). I have tried modeling the beam using two approaches because I can't find any examples of how to model a laminate.
The first approach I tried was to define one Section ("ply layup") with...
cdeepakroy,
I have been through this problem recently too. My advice would be to not use the vrml file format if you are going to be doing any post processing of the nodal data. While I am not performing an iterative process with my results, I am using Matlab to analyze the deformed mesh...
