Hi there go to

He has a couple of great pdfs that explain how to get started with Abaqus scripting and also how to integrate MatLab with Abaqus.

The meshes are split into 2 objects, 1) a list of the nodes & their coordinates, 2) a list of elements and their corresponding nodes, usually in the form,

*NODES
node number, x, y, z
....

*ELEMENTS
element number, node 1, node 2,....
.....

This kind of format (syntax varies) is used pretty much everywhere, your only real job is changing the syntax
