Acces to job frames in Python

[76185]

Dear Abaqus users,

I am writting a Python subroutine which should do something for each computed frame. But how can I access to this frames in Python? Or how can I run a job frame by frame?

Example:

p=mdb.jobs['JobName']
p.submit()

"I would like to compute the next lines for the first frame."

node=mdb.model[name].rootAssembly.node[name]

If stress[node] >3000MPa:
Compute the next frame (Restart the job at the last step and last increment and go back to the first line of the subroutine.)

Else:
Run the next part of the subroutine

......(the next part)


I don't know how to do that...Any idea?

Thx

Douglas

Abaqus Scripting Manual has detailed examples on how to access the results in the .odb files.

You need to use an odb object not mdb. mdb is just to build the model.

But I my case, if the stress in some elements is high enough, I want to change the geometry of my model...So I need to update the mdp no?

 

[abaqusmaster]

you can use odb.steps['Step-1'].frames[1].fieldOutputs['U'].values.data[1]
To access to the Stape-1/Frame1/Y displacement
To change the model you need to use mdb instead of odb

Good Luck
