Basically, the material data used for the analysis with Abaqus Unified FEA are not displayed in the ODB. A simple Python script helps here.<\/p>\n

Two materials are used in the present model:<\/p>\n

RUBBER, Neo-Hooke, Hyperelastic Material Model<\/p>\n

STEEL, steel, elastic-plastic material model<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This short script allows you to view the material data and models used.
\nThe input is done via the command line (Kernel Command Line Interface) at the bottom of Abaqus\/CAE (Module Visualization) or Abaqus\/Viewer.<\/p>\n

# Get current viewport, ODB file of current viewport, filename and path
\nCV = session.viewports[session .currentViewportName]<\/strong><\/p>\n

odbFile = CV.displayedObject<\/strong><\/p>\n

ON = odbFile.path<\/strong><\/p>\n

ON<\/strong><\/p>\n

Used_Mats=session.odbs[ON]<\/strong><\/p>\n

print Used_Mats.materials<\/strong><\/p>\n

The output looks like this :<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Now you can request more detailed information about the existing material data via the command line:<\/p>\n

print Used_Mats.materials['STEEL']<\/p>\n

supplies<\/p>\n

()<\/p>\n

information on which data is available for a material. Here, for example, the thermal conductivity, the density, information about the elasticity and the electrical conductivity. Now you can request further information: print Used_Mats.materials['STEEL'].elastic<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/p>\n

print Used_Mats.materials['RUBBER'].hyperelastic<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>

print Used_Mats.materials[‘STEEL’].plastic<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>

print Used_Mats.materials[‘STEEL\u2018].elastic<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>

ATTENTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The material name inside the square brackets must be in quotation marks! Depending on the editor, this can lead to problems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"doc_category":[84],"doc_tag":[87],"class_list":["post-3591","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry","doc_category-simulation-en","doc_tag-simulia-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
