dotinp

A python parser for Abaqus.inp (dotinp) files. This parser enables converting a .inp file to a python object tree which can be manipulated and queried. Therefore this script helps auto-generating and altering finite element models (FEMs) programmatically.

Fully Supported (completely parameterized):

• Orientation
• Node
• Element
• Elsets
• Nsets

Partially Supported (partially or not parameterized but represented by an unique object):

• Assembly
• Part
• Step
• Include
• Material
• Section (Beam/ solid/ shell)
• Parameter
• ...

Operations:

• Delete set: delete a list of elsets/nsets and all elements/nodes which are unique to these sets.
