40.8 OdbData object

The OdbData object stores non persistent values and attributes associated with an open odb for the given session. The OdbData object has no constructor. Abaqus creates the odbData repository when you import the Visualization module. Abaqus creates a OdbData object when an odb is opened.

Access

import visualization
session.odbData[name]

40.8.1 setValues(...)

This method modifies the OdbData object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

activeFrames

A sequence specifying the active frames, or the SymbolicConstant ALL. Each item in the sequence is a tuple defining the stepName followed by a sequence of expressions specifying frame numbers. The expression can be any of the following:
An Int specifying a single frame number; for example, 1.
A String specifying a single frame number ; for example, '7'.
A String specifying a sequence of frame numbers; for example, '3:5' and '3:15:3'.
For these expressions a negative number will indicate reverse numbering: -1 is the last frame of the step, -2 is the one before the last frame. Frame numbering starts at 0.

stepPeriods

A sequence of (String, Float) sequences specifying the stepName and the stepPeriod. Alternatively, this member may take the value ODB_VALUES.

Return value

None

Exceptions

None.

40.8.2 Members

The OdbData object can have the following members:
