External programming enviroment (e.g. eclipse) for Python scripting in Abaqus

Dear all,

I'd like to write my Python-Scripts in Abaqus 6.12 in an external programming (e.g. eclipse) enviroment, because it is easier and better to have a good overwiew about the values of variables during debugging. Is here anyone else who is interested in this and the more important question is, has someone found a way how to do this?

I also tried the Abaqus/PDE-enviroment, but I'm not happy with the actual performance.

The actual problem is that I cannot include all libraries and modules from abaqus in the enviroment.

If someone has any idea, don't hesitate to contact me.

With kind regards,

 

Johannes Ebert
