Write your Abaqus/Python script

After installing the pyabaqus package, you can start writing your own Abaqus/Python script to build your model. You can refer pyabaqus/tests at main · Haiiliin/pyabaqus for some tests of the script, for more detailed documentation, please check pyabaqus documentation.

Setup your Abaqus Environment

In order to use Abaqus command to execute the Python script and submit the job, you need to tell pyabaqus where the Abaqus command located. Usually, Abaqus command locates in a directory like this:

C:/SIMULIA/Commands/abaqus.bat

You can add the directory C:/SIMULIA/Commands to the system environment variable Path, or you can create a new system variable named ABAQUS_BAT_PATH, and set the value to the file path of the Abaqus command, i.e., C:/SIMULIA/Commands/abaqus.bat.

Run your Abaqus/Python script

Now you can just run your Abaqus/Python script using your own Python interpreter that pyabaqus is installed.
