This is a repository of codes I have developed to extract data from Abaqus .odb files. Not planning to develop anything, but if someone finds these codes useful feel free to use them. I will try to provide context with each code so it can be modified.
- Abaqus Scripting User's Manual - 6.11 current can be found in local documentation.
- Abaqus Scripting Refrence - Similar to the Abaqus keyword manual
- Abapy - Abaqus Python “AbaPy” contains tools to build, postprocess and plot automatic finite element simulations using Abaqus. This has a Ton of resources but is not up to date (all based in python 2.7). Seriously a ton of information, but somewhat outdated. Source code is avaliabe here
- Tips from Simulia to get started
- A Simulia Tutorial - Basic scripting to modify input files
- Paraview visualization of Abaqus output - Paper published in 2017 on converting formats. The source code can be found here. For our purposes the code would need to be modfied somewhat, but it works as of 2021/03/11
- Post-Processing with Abapy - Abapy outline some stuff to convert to .vtk that could be helpful in the future.
