I am developing a analysis procedure using Abaqus&Fortran as follows:

  • Generate FEM model using Abaqus, and do an modal analysis in Abaqus.Thus, an DAT results were generated.
  • In Fortran, read the DAT to get FEM model and modal results, and then calculate the displacement history for each node, using my own algorithm.
  • Finally purpose(but I don't know how to do it yet): GET the strain/stress time history of each node, or several chosen nodes.
  • The displacement history (in step 2) can be written into file. Can I use python to read it and call Abaqus to calculate stress or strain, and then write them into Odb database? Which type of analysis step should I use?

    Or, can it just be done in a post-processing procedure, how to do it?

    Is anyone has similar experience and could give me some advice on this issue?

    Thanks a lot!
