How to run the file of .py by using the ABAQUS Run Script?

[ymz5946]

Hi,everyone:
I generated a weave in TexGen,and I recorded the script to get a .py file.I wanted to run the .py file though Run Script in ABAQUS. But it fails, a error info (referrer to attachments).
Do I need to do something before running the script in ABAQUS? Thank you for helping.

Regards,
Pheng

Hi Pheng,

This is probably because the TexGen Python libraries can't be found. You will need to import whichever TexGen libraries are used in your recorded script, most likely just the core, using

Code: Select all

from TexGen.Core import *

You will also need to make sure that you are using a version of TexGen which is built with the appropriate version of Python for your Abaqus version - http://texgen.sourceforge.net/index.php ... ith_ABAQUS

Hope that helps,
Louise

Hi Louise,
I am trying to do the same here where I want to run TenGen python script in Abaqus. I did the core library but I still have the attached error. please let me know what other folders/ libraries I need to copy and where I place them so that I could run it within Abaqus.

Thank you,

Matt

Hi Matt,

You need to be able to access the files in the TexGen->Python->libxtra folder. These should have been installed into the site-packages folder in your Python installation. It may be a path problem - make sure that the path includes this so that the system can find the files.

Hope that helps,
Louise

Hello Laura.

I like so much your program. Thank you very for so much hard work and for leaving it free, so other persons can use it.

I’m here trying to apply it in a micro(with micro mechanics abaqus plugin)-meso(with texgen)-macro(with abaqus 2017) model to study composite pipes.

I use windows 10, abaqus 2017, python-2.7.3.amd64 and texgen-Python27-3.11.0. I have almost done it but I have found a problem which I’m not be able to solve.

In the meso part, when using the effectiveMatPropRVE.py to obtain the properties of the textile composite, to apply them after to the macro part, abaqus stops in this point

The dialog with the material properties pops, but abaqus cannot continue doing things until I close the dialog with the OK or the Cancel buttons.

It won`t be a problem if I would want to continue making the rest of the model manually, but I’m trying to create one only script with all the steps to work with it in Isigth because I want to make sensitivity, optimization and reliability studies over the complete model (micro-meso-macro).

After trying so many things to solve the problem, I think it can be something related with the SMACkmCeaKerMod because if I try to move the properties .rpt file which the file effectiveMatPropRVE.py have generated, it says that it cannot move the file because the SMACkmCeaKerMod keeps the .rpt file open.

I have exported the model generated in texgen with the volume option. I have also proved with the abaqus voxel option. The same problem appears.

I hope you can help me with this. Thank you very much.

Sorry i meant Louise, and not Laura.

Hi,

If you run a program with the dialog box the program will wait until it receives the Ok or Cancel event before it continues. If you just want the results but don't need to see them displayed I would suggest that you modify the dataHandling.py script so that it doesn't display the results and instead uses them for the computations required.

Hope that helps,
Louise
