remeshing using python

[Urmia]

Dear Friends,
I want to simulate a moving boundary problem and because of large deformation I have to remesh on of the instances in the assembly. I have to remesh it using an orpahn mesh or from odb file. I have already written a python with the help of example provided in ABAQUS documentation, but I do not know how to implement this into ABAQUS. AND i WILL BE GRATEFUL IF HELP ME REMESH THIS through odb file?
regards,

[Jorgen]

I have heard of that approach but I have not done it. I don't quite understand your question, tough. If you have written the python script, why can you not use that with Abaqus?

Dear Jorgen,
I am a beginer in using python. I want to simulate a process in which some nodes of the 3D model are moving and this cause some of the elements to collapse, therefore I need to remesh the model from the last increment and as I do not have any output from the 3D model except the model which I obtain from odb file I have to remesh the deformed model which I obtain from odb file. Would you please tell me how can I remesh this 3D model? and also I will be grateful if you tell me how can I use python file in a simulation? ( how can I feed it into ABAQUS?) :)
Regards,

What you are trying to do is perhaps not that easy. Can you perhaps remesh the model by "driving" CAE from a python script.

You don't (typically) use Python in a simulation. You use Python before or after running the simulation.

Dear Dr. Bergstrom,
Thanks alot for your great support. Therefore, I can remesh my model writing a python? Should I install python software in order to use python? and on the other hand, in order to use python I should enter it through command line in ABAQUS \CAE? How can I implement python using ABAQUS COMMAND? :)
Regards,

No need to install python since you can (and should) use the version of python that comes with abaqus. You start this using the "abaqus python" command.

I suggest that you read the Abaqus manuals about "scripting".
