I am currently working on a project in which I m modelling nano-indentation.
I am using patran as the pre-processor and abaqus as the solver; an abaqus input file is created is through patran, and then the job is run in abaqus.
I want to create a python script which will run the job from the input file I provide and then update the young's modulus value in the input file and then run the job again; I wanna do this for some finite number of times.
I can't figure out how to create an mdb object from the input file and then access the materials data and then somehow change it and run the analysis job using a python script.
Thanks in advance!!!
You need to use
mdb.ModelFromInputFile(name="name-to-be-given-to-cae-file",inputFileName="name-of-input-file.inp")
This API function creates a model object from a given input file. Then you can modify the material's properties.

It is probably more simple to change the inp-file directly (as an ASCII-file).
You could do this using a parameter statement, you could even read the parameter from a file and then just use python to change that file.
Hi Azeem Noor Khan,
I suggest that you ask this question on https://stackexchange.com/.
This website will typically yield a higher number of answers and, at least for programming-related problems, the solutions that other members provide tend to be incredibly precise and efficient.
