Hi all,
I'im current PhD Student, i'im trying to post-traitemnet databases (ODbs) with scripting Python, but the scripting python Abaqus use 22.5% of memory and 1 CPU. I want to use full memory and some CPUs (8 for example).
Thanks for yours helps,
Best regards,
Anh-Tuan DAU
Anh-Tuan,
You are better off using the c++ api if you are concerned about speed and memory. The code will run much faster than python without multiple cores anyway, and you can use OpenMP or similar if you want to use multiple cores. You cannot read/write from/to the same odb file anyway, so multiple cores will not help you there.
If you really want to try it using python you can use the multiprocessing module. I have tried this before, and the downside is that additional license tokens are used for each additional core you use. This is not the case in c++.

Dear M. Michael Hogg,
Thanks for yours comment! Because i don't know C++, if possible and you have an example about C++ for post-treatment file ODB,
I’m agrees with you. I see the book Abaqus 6.14 Scripting User's Guide; it says that should be use C++ API.
You can send me by email [email protected]
Thanks you very much,
Anh-Tuan,
There is an entire chapter dedicated to the C++ API in the ABAQUS user manual. It has a number of examples on how to read and write to an odb file.

However, if you do not know C++ you might want to stick with Python. It is easier to learn and if you get stuck you can always have a look at the code in the .rpy file.
