RepositorySupport

Using the RepositorySupport class allows you to create a hierarchy of repositories; for example, in the Abaqus Scripting Interface the parts repository is a child of the models repository. The first argument passed into your constructor is stored as name; it is created automatically by the infrastructure. To create a hierarchy of repositories, derive your class from RepositorySupport and use its Repository method to create child repositories as shown below. The Repository method is described in Repositories.

from abaqus import * 
from customKernel import CommandRegister, RepositorySupport
class Block(CommandRegister): 
    def __init__(self, name):  
       CommandRegister.__init__(self)
 
class Model(RepositorySupport): 
    def __init__(self, name):  
        RepositorySupport.__init__(self)
        self.Repository('blocks', Block)  

mdb.customData.Repository('models', Model) 
mdb.customData.Model('Model-1') 
mdb.customData.models['Model-1'].Block('Block-1')

The path to the object being created can be found by calling repr(self) in the constructor of your object.
