extract element info like in query element? 2

[loki3000]

how does one do it with python? is there a method for it or do i have to do it manually? i am interested in the same output that tools, query (element) gets (it produces no output in the rpy file except for the actual output).

sample data (i need just about everything except section and thickness stuff):
Element: PART-1-1.469723
Type: C3D4
Material: STEEL316LAEP
Section: ELSET_GRAIN_155.Section-ELSET_GRAIN_155, Homogeneous Solid Section, Thickness = 1
Connect: 116573, 116125, 116178, 116157
S, S33 (Not averaged): 22.4831



thanks

If you know the element then use *El Print

Hi,
There is no query build-in methods in Abaqus Scripting Interface (ASI). If you would like get similar effect as query then you have to build your own function to collect all information and format to output string. It should not be difficult to obtain the informations, element object has type, connectivity and instance name members. Other informations like material, section you need to search inside other odb objects.
More informations about odb structure could be found in doc:
9.3 Object model for the output database
