Abaqus Python : reading odb file for field frame data

Submitted by sidd04mech on

Hi,

I am running a python script to do some post processing on Abaqus odb file. While running it on Abaqus/Explicite output file I found it was taking more than usual time. And after timing the run I got the surprise that the most time consuming thing what just to read the time value for each frame. I have the script below.

def main():

odb=openOdb('F:/Scripting/.../.../Example.odb') 

stkeys=odb.steps.keys()

stp=odb.steps[stkeys[-1]]

frms=stp.frames
