Fluent Assertions Faces Backlash After Abandoning Open Source Licensing
Fluent Assertions is facing backlash after dropping the Apache license for a commercial model, leaving users blindsided and questioning contributor rights.
A Python 3 client for odbAccess using pylife-odbserver
Unfortunately Abaqus still comes with a python-2.x engine. So you can't access an Abaqus odb file from within modern python code. This python package is the client part of a client server setup to make odb files accessible from within python-3.x code in a transparent way.
The sibling package pylife-odbserver
provides a slim server that as
python-2.7 software, that can be run inside the Abaqus python engine. It
accepts command via sys.stdin
and according to the command is querying data
from the odbAccess
interface and returning them in a pickle object.
This package comes with a python class OdbClient
that spawns the server in
the background when an instance of OdbClient
is instantiated. Then the client
object can be used to transparently access data from the odb file via the
server. Once the client object goes out of scope i.e. is deleted, the server
process is stopped automatically.
pip
with the commandpip install pylife-odbclient
pylife-odbserver
on how
to install the server.Usually you only will see the OdbClient
class interface when you access an
odb file. The only point you care about the server is when you instantiate an
OdbClient
object. You need to know the following things
The path to the Abaqus executable
The path to the python environment pylife-server
is installed into.
Then you can instantiate a OdbClient
object using
import odbclient as CL
client = CL.OdbClient("yourodb.odb")
See the API docs of OdbClient
for details.
Only a subset of Abaqus variable locations are supported. These are: nodal, element nodal, whole element and centroid. Integration point variables are extrapolated to element nodal.
You can only extract data from an odb file, not write to it.
So far only names made of ascii
strings are supported. That means that
instance names, node that names and the like containing non-ascii characters
like German umlauts will not work.
