how to extract the xy data from field output and save in txt file

[mohamed safaa]

hello
I have a problem with extracting the results in the Abacus program. I have a large number of odb files and I want to extract the values ​​of xy data and save it in a txt file
Can someone help me to write a python script to solve this problem?

odb is proprietary. The ABAQUS line is that any converter or reader should use the ABAQUS supplied library. So you need to investigate that.

I've never used ABAQUS, but that would be a real good reason for NOT using it.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Do you feel any better?

Abaqus/Viewer has some built-in features that allow you to export data from odb files in text format. But for a large number of odb files you could use Python scripting which allows you to automate pretty much everything in pre- and postprocessing. Check this part of Abaqus documentation: Scripting --> Accessing an Output Database --> Using the Abaqus Scripting Interface to access an output database.
