How to debug PYTHON.py before running script?

[Bigtree]

Hi, is it possible to debug PYTHON.py before we go to ABAQUS running script?

Partly.
I use Pythonwin, which provides a syntax checking feature. If the script does not pass this checking procedure will fail under CAE also. However, these checks do not take into account the ABAQUS Scripting Interface modules.

I see. Thanks.

You can run just segments of it at a time pasted straight into the python prompt in CAE.

To identify run-time errors :

you can place various print "message #i" statements within the script and run the whole script.

Thus, you can identify the code portion generating the error as the set of code lines between the last printed message and first not printed message. Through several iterations, you can identify exactly the line causing the error.
