Parametric Study

[grnlan03]

I am attempting to run a parametric study in abaqus. From what I have read you can do this several ways. One, is to write a python script file with a parametric study built into it. I have seen this in the documentation but there are not many examples to work on. Second is to write a program in another language such as Matlab and have the other program call abaqus.

I'm trying to figure out which way would be the easiest. I do not know python very well but I am ok with matlab. Does anyone have some experience with this and could give me some direction?

Also are there any examples on the internet of code I could look at?


Thanks

Start by recording a macro of the steps you want the script to do. From there depending on your skills and the complexity it might be fairly straight forward. If not try posting specific questions. I hope this helps.

I have a python script file that I have made that will build the geometry, make a step, apply the appropriate boundary conditions and run the analysis.


Is there a way to write a another python script that will input different values such as dimensions, loads, and BC's into the script file I have already made. Then run the file and store the data. Then re-run it with new values and store the new data.

Thanks
