hi!
I need to know the command to run a python script in a unix environment.
Till now i used to run inp files using the command
-bash-2.05b$ /software/abaqus6.7.1/linuxix64/6.7-1/exec/abq671.exe job=3dlj cpus=2 scratch=/no_backup

What can be the command for a python script?

Thankyou!

Most of the latest unix (linux) versions do install python and hence you
could run just 'python' followed by python script file name- if not
abaqus also installs python with it. Syntax is just abaqus python - In
your case

-bash-2.05b$ /software/abaqus6.7.1/linuxix64/6.7-1/exec/abq671.exe
python yourscriptname.py

I am getting the following error:
-bash-2.05b$ /software/abaqus6.7.1/linuxix64/6.7-1/exec/abq671.exe python ab_script4_working.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ab_script4_working.py", line 17, in ?
from abaqus import *
File "Python/abaqus.py", line 12, in ?
ImportError: ababltin failed to import

The script can be the same one that i run on CAE right? Do i have to add smething to the script?

Hello,

If you want to import any objects from "abaqus" module with line:
"from abaqus import *" you have to run script within CAE or Viewer.

Command line in your case should look like this:
-bash-2.05b$ /software/abaqus6.7.1/linuxix64/6.7-1/exec/abq671.exe cae
script=ab_script4_working.py
or
-bash-2.05b$ /software/abaqus6.7.1/linuxix64/6.7-1/exec/abq671.exe viewer
script=ab_script4_working.py

You have also possibility to run script without graphic user interface
(GUI):
-bash-2.05b$ /software/abaqus6.7.1/linuxix64/6.7-1/exec/abq671.exe cae
noGUI=ab_script4_working.py
or
-bash-2.05b$ /software/abaqus6.7.1/linuxix64/6.7-1/exec/abq671.exe viewer
noGUI=ab_script4_working.py

For more information about running python scripts with Abaqus please take a
look to the documentation:
"2.2 How does the Abaqus Scripting Interface interact with Abaqus/CAE?".

Bartosz

Hi!
I am not conversant in python scripting, just incorporated a couple of changes in an abaqus.rpy script to get the desired effects. Thing is, the problem is big and hence I cannot run the script on CAE on my computer. To circumvent this, I tried to submit the script on the hpc (for which i know the command to submit .inp files, but not python scripts.) Understandably, on using cae script=ab_script4_working , it does check for the license but then reports some fatal error.
Any suggestions?

No! The script needs modification. This is because when you do inside
CAE lot of modules are loaded. You need to import these modules inside
your script. Look at abaqus scripting manual. I strongly recommend
taking a scripting course by abaqus folks if you want to do some serious
scripting.
