Hello,
I'm making few python macros for Abaqus, to be able to manage rapidly many models, and many output databases.
For one of those, I need to be able to automatically retrieve the names of all the History Output Variables (as:” Artifical strain energy: ALLAE for Whole Model”) using python, and I can’t find any other way to do it than using the .inp.
Does anyone know how to do this? I tried to use .keys() on historyRegions[].historyOutput[] but I don’t get the same names or data than those I have in abaqus CAE.
Thanks
Hi Benoît,
I hope that you have already solved your issue.
In any case, here a possible solution; other people may have the same issue:
# Open the odb
odb = session.openOdb(odb_dir + ODB_name+".odb")
# Access the step
my_step = odb.steps[stepname]
# Access to the history regions containing the set with all the elements
my_hist_el = my_step.historyRegions['ElementSet ALL ELEMENTS']
# Access the history output and look for the KI
my_hist_el.historyOutputs.keys()
This commands should give you access to the keys of all the history output present for a given step.
I hope it helps.
