Truncation of Displacement boundary conditions in Abaqus

Submitted by lorenzoguiducci on

 

 

Hi everyone,

 

I've wrote a script in python to create a model in Abaqus, run the simulations and retrieve the results I need.

I use the Abaqus python build (on PDE).

 

I experience a strange problem with the following command:

 

myModel.DisplacementBC(... ..., u1=0.123456789, u2=SET; ur3=...)

 

which gets translated in the input file like this:

 

*Boundary

myNodeset, 1, 1, 0.1234

myNodeset, 2, 2

 

That is, the value I set in the python script gets truncated!

 

Do you know how to solve this problem? Is there a way to force the number of significant digits passed in the DisplacementBC command?

 

 

 

Thanks a lot for your help!
