Python code to generate RPT files

[takbir911]

Hey everyone,

I have generated 100s of .odb files using Python by varying certain parameters. Now how do I generate rpt file for each of them? I need to obtain this file because it contains the total strain energy of my model. Extracting strain energy of each element is not possible because I've 10000+ elements. Basically, I need strain energy for each element in my rpt file alone with the total for each odb file.

Thanks in advance.

Why do you need sed for each element? What are you trying to do?

Ive a 2D model and I wish to extract the sum of strain energy by adding strain energy of each element. I found that the rpt file, when generated in the CAE contains this sum.

Why can't you use one of the energy output history variables that Abaqus provides? I can't remember which one. I think its ALLSE. Check the documentation.

Hey Ice,

You rule thanks for the quick answer. It was just what i wanted. thank you thank you

Hey Ice,

If I include a connector element like nonlinear spring, will ALLSE include the SE of the spring also? If it does, how can I extract SE of model and SE of spring seperately?

Thanks in adnvace

ALLSE will include the SE of the spring.

For the element set of springs, request SENER as an output field or history variable - whichever is of interest to you.

Hellow . I am a man from Abaqus Group. I need a little help if you can do this for me....
I am beginner in using abaqus and i have a problem in interpretation of results.
I have to understand the Equivalent Plastic Strain at integration Point PEEK.
I n the last incremement i have the value for this parameter 2.179e+00. what means this value?
My model in in meters.
How i can interpretate this value? it is a abberant value ? I found in Abaqus help but i didn`t find any interpretation there...
Thnaks you very much

dlkk, forgive me if im wrong, but this is what i think it might be

Abaqus doesnt use any units. Whatever value your modeled in, will the final result. EG: if i model in meters, apply force in newtons, then my stress will be N/m^2.

Hope it helped!
