Hello,

I am using ISight to perform an optimization of a structure using the Simcode Component. I am using the Simcode rather than the Abaqus Component because the latter fails to recognise some parameters from the job input file.

The Simcode reads a python script (Runsimopti.py) for the variables, then runs this script through Abaqus (using the command cmd abaqus cae script=Runsimopti_py) and the text file (OutputOpti.txt) containing some of the outputs generated from the python script Runsimopti.py. 

When the simulation is run, I have the error message: 

Output Data Exchanger: ExchangeException:Error opening input file C:\temp\Testsimcode_20200512_105310\Optimization1.Simcode\RUN_1_1\OutputOpti.txt: C:\temp\Testsimcode_20200512_105310\Optimization1.Simcode\RUN_1_1\OutputOpti.txt (the specified file cannot be found). 

Indeed, the file OutputOpti.txt is not in the runtime directory file. 

When running the python script in Abaqus manually, it outputs the file in the working directory. 

How can I correct this problem? 

Thank you in advance!
