I use the Abaqus/CSE to couple a heat transfer analysis with an external heat flux generation tool. The grids are not point-matched, but exist in the same coordinate space. Sending "surface_heat_flux" (HFL) nets me mapping failures on all the elements with exchange surface faces, while sending...
Is there capability within the Abaqus/Python API to extract the connectivity of a surface (such that the element definitions are 2D) from an ODB file? I have only been able to accomplish extracting the 3D elements which are used to form a surface, but I am only interested in the faces.
I'd like to export the capacitance and conductivity matrices from an Abaqus 6.14 heat transfer run which involves shell elements. I can do this easily for solid elements using:
*Element Operator Output, Assemble, Stiffness, Damping
But this does nothing for heat transfer analysis with shell...
Is it possible to extract 'Unique Nodal' values using the scripting interface (rather than through CAE reporting in Report->Field Output dialog)? It seems as if this is not mentioned in the scripting guide. The closest option I can see is ELEMENT_NODAL.
As an example, I want to extract the...
