Abaqus Python Scripting: Extracting History Output

In this video, I show how to extract history output from an odb file in abaqus using python scripting. The results are exported to a csv file.

glad I found your channel!

Hi, thanks for the video. How can we find the "region" in the model?

Also, does the odb file need to be saved in the same folder as work directory of the abaqus window you're working in, or it could find the odb file you want to open anywhere?

Hello, 1. if we give the earthquake load (displacement history) to the model as a time-boundary displacement condition and want to accelerate the output, is it correct to take the A1 output from the outpost history or not? 2. Is it possible to apply an earthquake load to a node at the boundary of the model infinite element, or must it be an area? Thank you for your help.

Thanks for the video! Is there a way to call the python script and run it using the abaqus python using a .bat?

Hello Sir, How can we find out the region from view port ? Kindly help!

How do I know the name of HistoryRegion?

Are you aware of a method to add this code to existing script that creates the job? So far, I've been able to get both parts to work separately, but when they are both in the same script file, it tries to open an .odb file that isn't created yet. Any insight on this would be appreciated.

if you know how long the simulation will run, maybe add a wait command in front of the second part, or maybe check for the following 10 hours or whatever at every 10 minutes if .odb file exists, and if it does continue to run the remaining script

If you run it via bat, you can add the interactive at the end of line. And it should work.
