In addition, you can supply an optional assembly element set argument from the command line, in which case the script searches only the element set for the maximum value of von Mises stress. The following illustrates how you can run the example script from the system prompt. The script will search the element set ALL ELEMENTS in the viewer tutorial output database for the maximum value of von Mises stress: abaqus python odbMaxMises.py -odb viewer_tutorial.odb -elset “ ALL ELEMENTS” Note: If a command line argument is a String that contains spaces, some systems will interpret the String correctly only if it is enclosed in double quotation marks. For example, “ ALL ELEMENTS”. You can also run the example with only the -help parameter for a summary of the usage.Use the following commands to retrieve the example script and the viewer tutorial output database: abaqus fetch job=odbMaxMises.py
abaqus fetch job=viewer_tutorial
"""
odbMaxMises.py
Code to determine the location and value of the maximum
von-mises stress in an output database.
Usage: abaqus python odbMaxMises.py -odb odbName
-elset(optional) elsetName
Requirements:
1. -odb : Name of the output database.
2. -elset : Name of the assembly level element set.
Search will be done only for element belonging
to this set. If this parameter is not provided,
search will be performed over the entire model.
3. -help : Print usage
