Hi,
I need to extract, from existing odb, displacements of nodes whhich belong to defined element surface. I use python. Till now I'm able to list the nodes labels and coordinates:
N_set = ODB1.rootAssembly.surfaces['C10'].nodes[0]
for i in N_set:
print i.label, i.coordinates
but trying:
reg = ODB1.rootAssembly.surfaces['C10']
nodes = ODB1.steps['CylFire_1'].frames[-1].fieldOutputs['COORD'].getSubset(region=reg)
for i in nodes.values:
print i.magnitude
does not work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
regards,
Marek.
What are the error messages you get?
The first thing that caught my eye is, that you are using fieldOutputs['COORDS'] to print displacement magnitudes. The correct dictionary entry would be fieldOutputs['U'].
Hi Jens,
thank's for your involvement,
well, COORD or U in this case does not matter, that is only example, anyway both of them are in ODB. The problem is that the first print gives the list of node labels and coordinated on the screen. invoking the second print gives nothing, no effects, the python gives no error, it just finish (looks normal). i have no idea why.
Did you try to write it to a file instead of printing it to the screen? Are you using the Abaqus NOGUI option to run your script? Abaqus redefines standard outputs to its own object abaqus.AbaqusStdout, so common printing to the terminal is usually not working.
