Abaqus C++ API to access an ODB

[94710]

I wrote a C++ post-processing program (I copied instructions written in abaqus documentation):

#include <odb_API.h>

int ABQmain(int argc, char **argv)
{

//Open the output database used by the tutorial.

odb_Odb& odb = openOdb("viewer_tutorial.odb");


//Create a variable that refers to the last frame of the first step.

odb_Step& step = odb.steps()["Step-1"];
odb_SequenceFrame& allFramesInStep = step.frames();
int numFrames = allFramesInStep.size();
odb_Frame& lastFrame = allFramesInStep[numFrames-1];


//Create a variable that refers to the displacement 'U' in the last frame of the first step.

odb_FieldOutput& displacements = 
lastFrame.fieldOutputs().get("U");

//Create a variable that refers to the node set 'PUNCH' in the part instance'PART-1–1' :

odb_Instance& instance = 
odb.rootAssembly().instances()["PART-1-1"];
odb_Set& nodeSet = 
instance.nodeSets["PUNCH"];

//Create a variable that refers to the displacement of the node set in the last frame of the first step: 

odb_FieldOutput myDisplacements = 
displacements.getSubset(nodeSet);

//close odb

odb.close();

return 0;
}

and I get :

Can someone help me?

See:

odb_Set& nodeSet = instance.nodeSets["PUNCH"];

try

odb_Set& nodeSet = instance.nodeSets()["PUNCH"];


instead.

Sorry for my stupidity!

Thank you so much

It may be another of my stupid questions ... but I don't know how can I execute my c++ post processing program now that I have my .exe and .obj files.

Maybe using the command prompt ?
