Abaqus python scripting 1

[Aakarsh]

Hey does anyone know a good reference for python scripting in Abaqus or a general template for running a script for an analysis in Abaqus ?

I'd need a bit more information in order to answer this question. I wrote a matlab script that generates .inp files (python script) for a beam element structure. The analysis was for natural frequency. It is difficult to make the .inp file by coding a python script IF the geometry is somewhat complicated. So the question is, are you trying to make many different iterations of a design? Are you just making one model?

You can read the abaqus documentation, but it's not very good. A short introduction can be found at:

Afterwards, you use the .jnl-file to see how your actions in the CAE are in script language. You can use those examples to write your own script.

I hope this helps. You can always ask more specific questions in another topic.
