Abaqus scripting: user defined node sets 2

[ThijsMas]

Hi all,

I have a model that I want to automatically run multiple times, with slightly different settings. By removing a node from my Tie constraint I can increase the length of a crack in my model. This will give me info on all crack lengths a want!

I want to do this automatically using Abaqus scripting. I want to modify the Set that represent my bonded nodes. As of now this Set is defined like this:

mdb.models['SSD_PEEK'].rootAssembly.Set(name='Bonded_Nodes', nodes=
mdb.models['SSD_PEEK'].rootAssembly.instances['Cutply2-1'].nodes.getSequenceFromMask(
mask=('[#109 #0:8 #ffc00000 #ffffffff:9 #0:18 #fff00000 #ffffffff:5',' #7f ]', ), ))

Is there a convenient method for defining a set of nodes? So some other way then using getSequenceFromMask(). Or can someone explain how the getSequenceFromMask() function works?

Hope you guys can help!!

Thijs

Run those both command in the Python interpreter in A/CAE.
Afterwards define the set again and then check what is written into the .rpy.

session.journalOptions.replayGeometry
session.journalOptions.setValues(replayGeometry=INDEX)

That worked!

Thank you very much.
