Abaqus/CAE plug-in with custom data | Tech Tip

When you open a Abaqus/CAE file and load a plug-in that uses customData, you may get the following error message:

Warning: Some attributes of customData cannot be used or modified because their associated module could not be imported:

Module: tireWizardUtils

Attributes: tireWizard

A scenario where this issue occurs is if the plug-in is not in the working or home directory and you import customKernel module. It can also occur if the path to the plug-in module is not added to the sys.path in your case. When you launch /CAE and open CLI in Abaqus/PDE and print the below command:

>>>print '\\n'.join(sys.path)

you should see the path to the plug-in.
