remeshing on abaqus/standard

[muyangren]

could anyone tell me:
how map the solution of old mesh to new mesh?
i just tryed the keywords *MAP SOLUTION by mdb.models[name].keywordBlock.insert(int, text='') and by directly adding *MAP SOLUTION in inputFile, but both do not work,
is there any other way to perform the mapping with python?
thanks

Muyangren,

Hmm, I have used the *MAP SOLUTION command in the past - and it worked for me :wink:.
Take a look at the ABAQUS manuals, which are very informative.

You should also be able to perform the mapping using Python, since you can access the internal structure of the odb-database from Python. I suspect that it will be more difficult and perform the mapping from Python, however.

Best of luck,
Jorgen

Dear Jorgen:
Would you please tell me how to access the internal structure of the odb-database from Python?

[Jorgen]

I recommend that you start by learning python and then start reading the "Abaqus Scripting User's Manual". You can then, for example, type "abaqus python" at a command prompt and start exploring the contents of odb-files.
