Advanced Abaqus Scripting

Duration:

1 day

Course Objective:

This Advanced Abaqus Scripting training Course is offered as a follow-up to the Introduction to Abaqus Scripting course. It is a deeper dive into both Python and the Abaqus Scripting Interface and gives users more hands on exposure with practically oriented workshops of moderate complexity.  This course also provides pointers for more specialized and advanced topics.

The course covers the following topics:

• Write scripts of moderate complexity to automate pre- and postprocessing tasks and improve productivity
• Use best practices for maintaining Abaqus scripts and optimizing their performance
• Use advanced techniques to take advantage of the Abaqus object model
• Set up parametric studies using ASI
• Build and modify simple GUI plug-ins using the Really Simple GUI (RSG) framework
• Leverage built-in features of Python to build applications
• Write Python scripts for utility tasks that interface with the operating system and file system
• Understand how to locate and utilize powerful third-party Python modules
• Understand and utilize Python’s object oriented features

The course is divided into lectures, demonstrations and workshops. The course workshops are designed to reinforce concepts presented during the lectures and demonstrations.

Who should attend?

Every Abaqus user should be familiar with the ASI. Productivity gains can be realized at many levels; from simple scripts that automate tedious tasks to large applications with custom user interfaces.
