Abapy Documentation

Abaqus Python “AbaPy” contains tools to build, postprocess and plot automatic finite element simulations using Abaqus. It is divided into four parts:
  • mesh: contains finite element mesh utilities allowing building, modifying, ploting and exporting to various formats.
  • postproc: contains utilities to read in Abaqus odb files and represent history and field outputs using custom classes. These classes allow easy calculations, export, storage (using pickle/cPickle).
  • materials: contains functions to preprocess materials before finite element simulations.
  • indentation: contains all indentation dedicated tools.
  • advanced_examples: contains examples using abapy and other python packages to perform research higher level tasks.
