How the Adapter Interacts with Abaqus/CAE

During the execution of the Abaqus adapter (at run time), the adapter automatically generates a Python script called execInp.py in the execution directory.

This script performs the following tasks:

  1. Opens a copy of the reference Abaqus/CAE model database file.
  2. Modifies values of input parameters based on data received from the Optimization Process Composer process drivers.
  3. Regenerates geometry, if necessary.
  4. Remeshes the finite element model, if necessary.
  5. Writes solver input files for all jobs defined in the Abaqus/CAE model database file.
  6. Saves the modified Abaqus/CAE model database file.
