odb-plotter 0.6.1

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["all"]

Install in headless mode (data processing only)

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

Changelog

• Before 0.5.0: Did not have the Changelog here.
• 0.5.0: API Updates and better dataframe filtering
  • 0.5.1: Implement new system information (pypi tags, this changelog)
  • 0.5.2: Returning support to Python 3.8+ (type hinting)
  • 0.5.3: Patching conversion bugs
  • 0.5.4: Parametrize number of cpus for testing
• 0.6.0: Extractor improvements, ODB interface tools (iteration, receiving ODB data), re-implementation of basic 3D plots over time (including melt-pool plots). Created two-dimensional plotting capabilities
  • 0.6.1: Update notices if pyvista isn't installed
• Upcoming:
  • 0.7.0: Improve user settings, parameterization, metadata. Let users select plotting colors, keep metadata of nodesets or spatial, thermal, temporal bounds within the .hdf5.
  • 0.8.0: Improve pyvista functionality: views, gifs, non-interactive image saving, leave the viewer.
  • 0.9.0: Rewrite CLI to use python's cmd module and pyreadline/GNU readline.
  • 1.0.0: Final bug-fixing, type checking, bounds checking, etc. Hopefully coinciding with (or following) a publication.
