You can write your own data to an output database, and you can use
Abaqus/CAE
to view the data.
Writing to an output database is very similar to reading from an
output database. When you open an existing database, the
Odb object contains all the objects found in the output
database, such as instances, steps, and field output data. In contrast, when
you are writing to a new output database, these objects do not exist. As a
result you must use a constructor to create the objects. For example, you use
the Part constructor to create a
Part object, the Instance constructor to create an
OdbInstance object, and the Step constructor to create an
OdbStep object.
After you create an object, you use methods of the objects to enter or
modify the data associated with the object. For example, if you are creating an
output database, you first create an Odb object. You then
use the Part constructor to create a
part. After creating the part, you use the addNodes and addElements methods of the
Part object to add nodes and elements, respectively.
Similarly, you use the addData
method of the FieldOutput object to add field output data
to the output database. After creating an output database, you should use the
save method on the
Odb object to save the output database.
