Running an abaqus script without launching ABAQUS

[Sri Harsha]

Hi,

I have an ABAQUS script/Macro,which I am unable to run without launching ABAQUS.

The following approach has been followed to run the ABAQUS Script,without launching GUI.
->Open ABAQUS Command line
->Change the destination there to the path of the script location.
->then I have enetered this line: "abaqus cae ScriptFile.py"

Please find my script attached below:
I am running the Mainfunction() below and rest are all sub functions,which are used in MainFunction.

def GetForceAndDisplacement(odb1,i):
DispList = []
ForceList = []
assembly = odb1.rootAssembly
elemset = assembly.elementSets['DISP_END_SET']
elementsObj = elemset.elements
for Idx in range(len(elementsObj[0])):
connecObj = elemset.elements[0][Idx].connectivity
for nds in connecObj:
xy = session.xyDataListFromField(odb=odb1, outputPosition=NODAL, variable=(('U', NODAL, ((INVARIANT, 'Magnitude'), )), ), nodeLabels=(('PART-1-1', (str(nds), )), ))
Disp = xy[0][0][1]
DispList.append(Disp)

xy2 = session.xyDataListFromField(odb=odb1, outputPosition=NODAL, variable=(('RF', NODAL, ((INVARIANT, 'Magnitude'), )), ), nodeLabels=(('PART-1-1', (str(nds), )), ))
Force = xy2[0][0][1]
ForceList.append(Force)

AvgDisp = sum(DispList)/len(DispList)
ResForce = sum(ForceList)

return AvgDisp,ResForce

def RetrieveSetStressValues(odb1,lastFrame):
SetList = []
SetList = RetrieveAllSetNames()
assembly = odb1.rootAssembly
for SetIdx in range(len(SetList)):
maximumStress = 0
elemset = assembly.elementSets[SetList[SetIdx]]
elementsObj = elemset.elements
for Idx in range(len(elementsObj[0])):
connecObj = elemset.elements[0][Idx].connectivity
for nds in connecObj:
xy = session.xyDataListFromField(odb=odb1, outputPosition=NODAL, variable=(('S', INTEGRATION_POINT, ((INVARIANT, 'Mises'), )), ), nodeLabels=(('PART-1-1', (str(nds), )), ))
Stress = xy[0][0][1]
if Stress > maximumStress:
maximumStress = Stress

if SetIdx == 0:
Set1 = maximumStress
if SetIdx == 1:
Set2 = maximumStress
if SetIdx == 2:
Set3 = maximumStress
if SetIdx == 3:
Set4 = maximumStress

return Set1,Set2,Set3,Set4


def Mainfunction():
TimeStep = []
odbNamesList = []
odbNamesList = ListODBNames()
ODBFilesList = []
StressSet1List = []
StressSet2List = []
StressSet3List = []
StressSet4List = []
DispList = []
ForceList = []
ODBFilesList = ListAllODBFiles()
for odbFileIdx in range(len(ODBFilesList)):
odb = openOdb(ODBFilesList[odbFileIdx])
session.viewports['Viewport: 1'].setValues(displayedObject=odb)
odbName=session.viewports[session.currentViewportName].odbDisplay.name
lastStep = odb.steps['Step-1']
for i in range(len(lastStep.frames)):
lastFrame = lastStep.frames
Time1 = lastFrame.frameValue
session.odbData[odbName].setValues(activeFrames=(('Step-1', (i, )), ))
TimeStep.append(Time1)
AvgDisp,ResForce = GetForceAndDisplacement(odb,i)
DispList.append(AvgDisp)
ForceList.append(ResForce)
Set1,Set2,Set3,Set4 = RetrieveSetStressValues(odb,lastFrame)
StressSet1List.append(Set1)
StressSet2List.append(Set2)
StressSet3List.append(Set3)
StressSet4List.append(Set4)


I would be really glad,if I u can let me know the changes to be done,inorder to run the script through ABAQUS Command line without launching ABAQUS.

Thanks in Advance!

When the script runs fine and without user interaction in the GUI, then you can use this command to run it also without GUI.
