Abaqus Hexahedron Exporter

IO (Output)

Description

This Filter produces the basic five Abaqus .inp files for input into the Abaqus analysis tool. The files created are: xxx.inp (the master file), xxx_nodes.inp, xxx_elems.inp, xxx_elset.inp and xxx_sects.inp. This Filter is based on a Python script developed by Matthew W. Priddy (Ga. Tech., early 2015).

Example Output
