Abaqus scripting: transforming field output results using a CSYS before getting data

[apal21]

Hi,

I am trying to write a script to extract field output data from odb's. I want to know how to transform the data using a user-defined CSYS which is already stored in the odb. Can someone please help me? Is it even possible to do so?

The Abaqus scripting guide has a page on creating new odb coordinate systems via scripting (

https://classes.engineering.wustl.e.../ker/default.htm?startat=pt01ch31pyo13.html),

but nothing about transforming results using an existing CSYS.

 

[FEA way]

Transform the results in Abaqus/Viewer and open abaqus.rpy file located in the work directory. This file will contain a script with everything you’ve done in Viewer. So you will also find there all commands necessary to transform the results with Python scripting.
