odb-plotter 0.5.1

Python3 API for Abaqus .odb Files and related Command Line Visualization Tool. Focused on Additive Manufacturing Thermal Transfer

ODB Plotter

Constraints:

ODB Plotter is being developed by CMML, and as such has a focus on Additive Manufacturing and Temperature Data.

Install with pip

pip install odb-plotter

Run the cli with python

python -m odbp

Or import to use the api

from odbp import Odb
...

ODB Plotter Design Goals

I intend for this project to serve two purposes:

• First, implement an extensible, flexible api for accessing data within .odb files or .hdf5 files with odb data
• Second, implement a user-friendly, sane-defaults cli to allow for quick data extraction, manipulation, and visualization with no hassle
