Patran/PCL parametrization

Submitted by quickstart on

Dear imechanica users,



I have decided to learn how to use .ses and .pcl files in Patran to simplify repeatable operations.



In my problem, I would like to consider several beams of the same length, loading/BC conditions etc. but with different cross-section dimensions.

In order to make my calculations fully automatic, I have parametrized both width and height of the cross sections (as REAL a,b) and created nested FOR loops to obtain 20 different designs.



I would be grateful for answers on these questions:

Extracting boundary conditions from output database (odb) file using ABAQUS scripting

Submitted by Suman.Guha on

Hi,

I am familiar with abaqus python scripting to create odb files and to extract nodal data from an output database (odb) file in ABAQUS. I would like to know whether it is possible at all, to extract the boundary conditions from an odb file. I guess that the boundary conditions are not stored in an odb file. But I am not sure. Any help in this regard ??
