AEM 535 Basic script to read data from an ODB file

[@farmerwoody123]

Really helpful video, one of the best introduction videos i have seen on scripting. Thank you :)

[@mariakopp92]

This was really helpful. Exactly what I needed, explained in a very understandable way. Thank you very much!

Good way. I have trouble to get predefined field variable (FV1). please guid how can I get FV1 for a specific node I want to plot U against FV1 for a specific node

[@justine6247]

Thanks for this hints

[@mahdiasadpour9086]

thanks for the helpful video, would you explain how it is possible to access the data regarding s11 or s22( I mean reading those, for all the elements at once like the process you have used for reading the NT11 and adding to another step.)

[@mbarkey.mechanics]

It is done in a similar way, but what you get are the stress tensor components at integration points, based element number. You will need to do the appropriate work to get the values transferred to nodal locations. Temperature is already a nodal quantity, and in my opinion, is much easier that dealing with stresses. Please refer to the ABAQUS documentation, as I have not written any script for stresses.

@@mbarkey.mechanics Thanks, I appreciate your response.

hello i have a doubt, if i want to extract temperature of a particular node by using node label how do i change this script line to get that information of just one particular node

[@mbarkey.mechanics]

I'm sure there are a few ways to do this--if you look at the green comment lines at 23:12, maybe try print t.values[50] for node 50. I learned enough python to get what I needed, but I am not an expert on it.
