Hello there, I'm trying to extract the complex output displacement in the 2-direction of my ODB. the data repository only stores the 1 and 2 displacements in its real form.
How can I extract the complex displacement (specifically magnitude and phase) in 2 direction? Also, I would appreciate it if you point me to the relevant literature in the scripting reference guide and a previous discussion on this topic
Here is the ODB path I used (just in case you need a reference for my process):
Abaqus
myOdb = openOdb(path = 'path_name') myStep = myOdb.steps['step_name'] nodeLocation = myOdb.rootAssembly.instances['part_name].nodeSets['nodeset_name'] myFrame = myStep.frames[frame_number] disp = myFrame.fieldOutputs['UT'].getSubset(region=nodeLocation) yDisp = disp.values.data[1] --> this gives a real number
