Product: ABAQUS/CAE
ABAQUS/CAE, an interactive environment for creating, submitting, monitoring, and evaluating results from ABAQUS simulations, is executed by running the ABAQUS execution procedure and specifying the cae parameter.
This option specifies the name of the model database file or output database file to open. To specify a model database file, include either the .cae file extension or no file extension in the file name. To specify an output database file, include the .odb file extension in the file name.
This option specifies the name of the file from which ABAQUS/CAE commands are to be replayed. The commands in replay-file will execute immediately upon startup of ABAQUS/CAE. If no file extension is given, the default extension is .rpy.
This option specifies the name of the file from which a model database is to be rebuilt. The commands in journal-file will execute immediately upon startup of ABAQUS/CAE. If no file extension is given, the default extension is .jnl.
This option specifies the name of the file containing Python configuration commands to be run at application startup. Commands in this file are run after any configuration commands that have been set in the environment file.
This option specifies the name of the file containing Python configuration commands to be run at application startup. Commands in this file are run after any configuration commands that have been set in the environment file.
Arguments can be passed into the file by entering -- on the command line, followed by the arguments separated by one or more spaces. These arguments will be ignored by the ABAQUS/CAE execution procedure, but they will be accessible within the script.
This option specifies the name of a file containing Python scripts to be run without the graphical user interface (GUI). This option is useful for automating pre- or post-analysis processing tasks without the added expense of running a display. Since no interface is provided, the scripts cannot include any user interaction. ABAQUS/CAE runs the commands in the file and exits upon their completion. If no file extension is given, the default extension is .py.
Arguments can be passed into the file by entering -- on the command line, followed by the arguments separated by one or more spaces. These arguments will be ignored by the ABAQUS/CAE execution procedure, but they will be accessible within the Python script.
This option specifies that all configuration commands in the environment files should not be run at application startup. This option can be used in conjunction with the script command to suppress all configuration commands except those in the script file.
This option specifies that ABAQUS/CAE should not apply the display options settings stored in abaqus_v6.6.gpr (for example, the render style and the display of datum planes). For more information, see “Saving your display options settings,” Section 50.12 of the ABAQUS/CAE User's Manual.
This option specifies that the Start Session dialog box for ABAQUS/CAE should not be displayed.
This option specifies the name of the file containing ABAQUS GUI Toolkit commands. This option executes an application that is a customized version of ABAQUS/CAE. For more information, see Chapter 1, “Introduction,” of the ABAQUS GUI Toolkit User's Manual.
The following command will execute ABAQUS/CAE and load the model database file called “beam”:
abaqus cae database=beamThe following command will run the Python script in a file named “try.py” at application startup and pass “argument1” to the script:
abaqus cae script=try.py -- argument1If “try.py” is defined as
import sys print sys.argv[-1]the above command will print argument1.
