Python Script for Reaching Reaction Force

[yaston4]

I am new to python scripts in Abaqus and would like to write a python script to run and analysis and have it stop when a certain reaction force it reached. can anyone offer any suggestions or help on how this is possible with Python scripts or any simple method?

Thanks

Hi,

If you are using Abaqus/Explicit than you can use build-in function to do your task at keywords level.
Please take a look into Abaqus documentation:
Abaqus Analysis User's Manual,
4.1.3 Output to the output database,
Filtering output and operating on output in Abaqus/Explicit,
Stopping an analysis when an output variable reaches a prescribed limit

For Abaqus/Standard UAMP subroutine and sensor outputs is a good idea.
