A short Python script for Abaqus

[nikulauz]

Dear collegues,

I am currently working on a small project and my task is to create Python- scripts for Abaqus that will improve the efficiency of our analysis.

I was wondering if any of You could help me understand what stands behind the following lines:

1: s = mdb.models['Model-1']
1.1: s.setPrimaryObject(option=STANDALONE)

2: g, v, d, c = s.geometry, s.vertices, s.dimensions, s.constraints
3: s.Line(.......)
4: s.HorizontalConstraint(entity=g[2], addUndoState=False)
4.1: p = mdb.models['Model-1'].Part(name='Konsole', dimensionality=TWO_D_PLANAR, type=DEFORMABLE_BODY)

5: p = mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['Konsole'] f = p.faces
6: mdb.models['Model-1'].HomogeneousSolidSection(.......)
7: p = mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['Konsole']
8: faces = f.getSequenceFromMask(mask=('[#1 ]', ), )
9: a = mdb.models['Model-1'].rootAssembly
10: e1 = a.instances['Konsole-1'].edges
11: v11 = a.instances['Konsole-1'].vertices
12: elemType1 = mesh.ElemType(elemCode=CPS8R, elemLibrary=STANDARD)

These are taken from a complete (running) script. I am new to the forum and I don't know how to upload the ".py"- file. Excuse me for this. I will put a link to Dropbox with the file!

Your help will be very appreciated!

Regards,
Nicco

These are the commands that create a model the way you would do it in the GUI. Just do it manually and then look into the .rpy after each action.
Otherwise look into the Scripting Reference Manual.

For beginners I recommend to go through the Scripting Users Manual first.
