Simple script error

[DanStro]

I am trying to write a script that creates some XY data from node sets in an odb. Using the rpy file I came up with the script below. But when I try to run it I am getting an error that the name "COMPONENT" doesn't exist. As far as I can tell, from both the rpy file and the scripting section of the help docs, this is correct. In case it matters the error is flagged on the line where I am defining 'var'.

Can anyone point me to what I am doing wrong?

import odbAccess

odb = session.odbs['E:/AbaqusWork/_Practice/Scripting/SurfNodeReport/jbSurfNodeReport.odb']

var=(('COORD', NODAL, ((COMPONENT, 'COOR2'), )), )
session.xyDataListFromField(odb=odb, outputPosition=NODAL, variable=var, nodeSets=("PART-1-1.BOTTOM", ))

print('done')

Thanks,
Dan

Second component of COORD variable should be COORD2, not COOR2.

According to the .rpy and help file it is COOR2 for the component of COORD.

I figured out what I was doing wrong and just in case someone else in the future has the same problem here is what I did to fix it: The problem that I was having is because I was not importing abaqusConstants, that contains the definition of COMPONENT. Once I added that import it works fine.
