Extract PEP

[Jam3s]

Hello to everybody.
I've question and I hope somebody can help me. I'm sure that somebody helps me.
I've learned to use script to extract data in an automatic way. In this case I need to extract the PE Max.Principal but I can't understend how Abaqus saves this information. If I look at result tree I arrive till the output PE that is a tensor in which I can find only its six components.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,

Jam3s

temp2 = odb.steps['Step-1'].frames[-1].fieldOutputs['S']
temp2 = temp2.getSubset(elementType='COH3D6')
temp2 = temp2.getSubset(position=INTEGRATION_POINT)
field = temp2.getScalarField(componentLabel='S33')

Hi looki3000,
can you explain better these commands?

that's not exactly what you are looking for, but it's more than enough to point you in the right direction. the script basically get S33 stress at int. points of coh elements.

lookup Scripting reference manual in abq help and search for get subset, get scalar field
