Menu : Files->Import->Pybaqus...
With this option it is possible to read Abaqus mesh and result ASCII files, with .fil extension.
This importer is implemented as a Tcl plugin using the Pybaqus
Pyhton module, with limited features (cannot read .odb native Abaqus results)
The first thing you need is to tell Abaqus that you want an ASCII *.fil
result file. To get that you need to write the following lines in your *.inp
file, within the step definition (before the *End Step
command) e.g.:
... *FILE FORMAT, ASCII *EL FILE, DIRECTIONS=YES S, E, COORD *NODE FILE COORD, U *End Step ...
You can specify different output variables (as long as they are available for the elements you are using, of course). After submitting your model you will get a *.fil
file. This is the file you need, as it can be imported with Pybaqus.
