Figure 9–4 shows the history output data object model within an output database. The output from all history requests that relate to a particular point or region is then collected in one HistoryRegion object. Individual variables (such as a particular stress component) can be requested.ĭepending on the type of output expected, a HistoryRegion object can be defined for one of the following: History output is intended for relatively frequent output requests for small portions of the model and can be displayed in the form of X–Y data plots in the Visualization module of Abaqus/CAE. History output is output defined for a single point or for values calculated for a portion of the model as a whole, such as energy. example - the principal stress at a single node at the root of the beam.used to generate xy plots by step and time.
typically requested at every increment during the anaylsis. requested for a small subset of the model. Figure 9–3 shows the field output data object model within an output database. You use the regions defined in the model data, such as an element set, to access subsets of the field output data. Each data value has a location, type, and value. Field output is composed of a “cloud of data values” (e.g., stress tensors at each integration point for all elements). Only complete sets of basic variables (for example, all the stress or strain components) can be requested as field output. You can also use field output to generate an X–Y data plot. IntegrationPointData = sdat.getSubset(position=INTEGRATION_POINT)įield output is intended for infrequent requests for a large portion of the model and can be used to generate contour plots, animations, symbol plots, and displaced shape plots in the Visualization module of Abaqus/CAE. can specify output frequency or time intervals. intended for infrequent requests for large portions of model data, such as 3d mesh contour plots. Can be used as a source for x-y plots, but history is better.
used for creating contour, deformed shape, and symbol plots. typically requested for the entire model, often only at selected elements. see Abaqus Scripting User's Guide 5.2 for more info accessing the databaseĪbaqus Scripting User's Guide - 5.2.2 field output ¶. CF - concentrated (applied) forces and moments. lck - a file that indicates that the odb file is open and cannot be edited if opened by another user. * rpt - text file generated from probe data for user specific user requested information. that can we read/written for third-party post processing fil - contains selected results from the analysis in a neutral format. msg - contains diagnostic or informative messages about the progress of the solution. dat - printed output from the anaylsis input file processor, as well as printed output of selected results written during the analysis. use the step module to specify which analysis steps should write restart information res - used to continue an anaylsis that stopped before it was complete. lck - file that protects the odb file when it is current being written to.
Use the step module output request manager to choose variables are saved at what rate. odb - output database containing results from completed simulation.contains all the information necessary to run a analysis inp - abaqus config file that is created when a job is submitted.rec - recover file contains commands to replicate the version of the model database in memory.jnl - journal python file, all commands necessary to recreate the most current save model database.cae - model database, contains models and analysis jobs.rpy - replay file, all modeling operation commands executed during a session, are saved in this file.Some of the abaqus file types ¶ files generated by created and analyzing a model ¶

For developers, I'd recommend a more complete python installation that includes an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), like spyder.Ī commercial license is prohibitvley expensing, but for students out there a nearly full functioning student edition is available here, but is limited by node count and no user subroutines.
