Exception handling

The Python exception handling techniques described in Error handling apply to the Abaqus Scripting Interface. You should use the command description in the Abaqus Scripting Reference Guide to decide for which exception types you need to account. For example, the following Abaqus Scripting Interface script attempts to create a viewport and prints a message if the width or height are too small:

try: 
    session.Viewport(name='tiny',width=1, height=1) 
except RangeError, message: 
    print 'Viewport too small:', message
print 'Script continues running and prints this line'

Viewport too small: width must be a Float >= 30 
Script continues running and prints this line
