You can extend the functionality of the
Abaqus Scripting Interface
by writing your own modules that contain classes and functions to accomplish
tasks that are not directly available in
Abaqus.
For example, you can write a function to print the names of all
materials that have a density specified, or you can write a function that
creates a contour plot using a custom set of contour plot options. Creating
functions and modules in Python is described in
Creating functions
and
Functions and modules.
This section describes how you can extend the functionality of the
Abaqus Scripting Interface.
