Hello everyone:
I am trying to convert each spectrum in my pseudo-2D spectrum into ASCII files. My current approach is: using the "split2d" AU program to split the spectrum into multiple PROCNOs, then manually navigating to each PROCNO and running the "convbinasc" AU program to convert it into an ASCII file. Afterward, I process the data using a Python script. However, this process is somewhat cumbersome. I would like to know if it is possible to rewrite an AU program to automatically perform the step of reading PROCNO and executing "convbin2asc"?

Hi HongXin,
many years ago I worte such an AU. It coverts a 2rr file into a CSV. The first three rows show point nr., ppm and Hz and the first 3 colums show the same for f1. The matrix then shows the respective intensity for each coordinate. The AU program is attached. Regards Clemens

Hi every one,
I have learn the qiime2 amplicon pipeline for paired-end sequencing files and these official tutorials are really helpful. There are some paired end sequencing files and full length amplicon files in my research. I want to analyze them using qiime2 pipeline but I have no idea how to import them together into QIIME2. I have come out two solutions but I didn't try it.
Solution 1: Create a slice of sequences comprised of target variant region and its primer, barcode sequences using awk or python script. Then, cut the slice into forward read and reverse read. These paired read sequences will be imported into qiime2.
Solution 2: First we merged the forward read and paired read after removing barcodes & primer sequences. Second, create a slice of target variant region. Finally, we import these single end sequences into qiime2.
Are there any available tutorials for importing both paired end files and full length single end files?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Yuhang Wu
The Fastq Manifest option is the easiest way to import data into the QIIME2 environment. Using this option, you can easily import both (R1 & R2) reads of each sample into the QIIME2 environment.
It also does not require any barcode-related information.
Try it, and if you are facing a problem, let me know. I will assist you.

Hi Folks,
In this discussion, I will provide my Python code for everyone interested in working with DEM in PFC software.
The calibration process in DEM modeling is highly time-consuming, requiring researchers to continuously monitor their computers and adjust their models through trial and error.
This process can be significantly streamlined by developing a Python script that runs in both PFC3D and 2D software. This script can manage other model scripts, run the model, save images, export data, and even adjust micro-parameters with new inputs!
All you need to do is define a range of possible inputs and run the Python script. It takes a few hours to input all your data into the model during each iteration. Finally, you can compare the outputs with the expected results.
I hope this code will assist you in your future DEM modeling endeavors.

Hi. I'm using the statannotations package in a python script to plot and statistically compare my data. Its a repeated measures ANOVA with multiple time points and two categories (control and treated). Some time points are significantly different, showing "*". Some are not different, showing "ns".
However, for some of the time points I get the annoyingly elusive "* (ns)" outcome, what does that mean? Is it significant? (then why put the ns in brackets instead of leaving it out). Is it not significant anymore after post hoc correction? (then why is the "ns" in brackets and not the "*"?). It doesn't make any sense to me. The documentation is not helpful and doesn't mention that case. Please help

Oh, the documentation isn't clear ?

Hello, I'm doing research on the degree of optimization of a groundwater monitoring network for a study area in The Netherlands. I'm conducting an elimination approach; monitoring wells that do not have informational relevance to the network are eliminated from the network. Now, I would like to analyze the sensitivity of the input data (groundwater level data of all monitoring wells) to understand how variations in the input data can affect the output of the model (optimal number of monitoring wells, monitoring wells that area eliminated). The sensitivity analysis would give insight into the reliability of the model, thinking of the eliminated monitoring wells and how I can minimize the RMSE of the model and MAE of the eliminated monitoring wells. What would be a suitable method for a SA in Python? I heard things about Monte Carlo and Sobol, but I'm not sure if those will fit in my Python script.

Hello,
I'm writing Python scripts for Abaqus and I'm facing a problem. I need to change the coordinate system in a .odb file before extracting data but I'm stuck. I can create my coordinate system and extract the data but not the intermediate step. How can I change it using Python ? If you have any information, it would be great.
Best regards,
Benjamin Martin
Relevant answer
Answer
To modify the coordinate system within Abaqus via Python, one must engage with the Abaqus Scripting Interface (ASI). This process entails establishing a new coordinate system and accordingly transforming the data before its extraction. It requires the creation of the coordinate system, application of the transformation to the relevant data within the .odb file, and subsequent extraction of this data in the updated coordinate system.
  1. Open the ODB File: load your.odb file by calling the method openOdb .odb file.
  2. Define the New Coordinate System: Develop it with methods like DatumCsysByThreePoints.
  3. Transform Data to the New Coordinate System: Iterate over the steps, frames, and field outputs in the ODB. Use the getTransformedField method to transform the data to the new coordinate system.
  4. Save the Changes: Save the changes to the ODB file using the save method.
  5. Close the ODB File: The ODB file can be closed by passing the close method as in the code.
Following these steps, using Python, you can effectively change the coordinate system in an Abaqus .odb file.

Hello everyone,
I am currently exploring several options to give the collected data the greatest value possible.
I have demographic data on older people, where I perform various memory and mood tests. The previous hypotheses were the following:
  • Drawing out the difference between dementia and depression.
  • Identify if the digital tool is as effective as the classic one
  • Contributing to the data collected as a predictor of dementia
A few years ago, studies talked about the real possibility of predicting some years before, what your future mental health will be in terms of memory.
Do you think there is any way to provide value in that sense, with demographic data, clinical tests like MoCa, Yesavage, Lawton, MFE?
Here you are some of these studies.

Thanks in advance,
Relevant answer
Answer
Thanks Adnan Majeed ,
There are important ethic considerations as you mention.
In our use case, the digitalized clinical tests, dementia and depression test, are administered. We use Alexa devices to pass these tests so that the information is digitized, obtaining the answer of the final score automatically.
Taking into account the data collected from our users, the features to clasify them will be:
  • Demographic Data
  • Behavior patterns
  • Their answer to the clinical test
  • Voice Data or voice patterns
  • Gesture patterns
My proposal is to compare the digitized test with the classic one to check the sensitivity and specificity. And compare these two terms with the ones I get when I add the Machine Learning layer. Probably the library I use is Scikit-learn.
Do you think I'm on the right path? Are there any important suggestions to keep in mind?

The focus is on computing Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) computationally. If it's feasible to perform EIS calculations using VASP, Python scripts, or specialized software, kindly provide relevant links or information.
Relevant answer
Answer
EIS can be simulated computationally using tools like VASP in conjunction with Python scripts for analysis. While VASP performs the quantum mechanical calculations, Python scripts are employed to post-process the data and generate impedance spectra.
Here's a simplified example of how you might use Python to analyze VASP output for EIS:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Load VASP output data (e.g., electronic structure)
# Replace the following lines with your VASP output data loading code
# For simplicity, let's generate some example data
frequencies = np.logspace(0, 5, num=100) # Frequency range
impedance_real = np.random.rand(100) # Real part of impedance
impedance_imag = np.random.rand(100) # Imaginary part of impedance
# Calculate magnitude and phase angle from real and imaginary parts
magnitude = np.sqrt(impedance_real**2 + impedance_imag**2)
phase_angle = np.arctan2(impedance_imag, impedance_real) * (180/np.pi) # Convert radians to degrees
# Plot impedance magnitude
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
plt.plot(frequencies, magnitude, label='Magnitude')
plt.xlabel('Frequency (Hz)')
plt.ylabel('Impedance Magnitude (Ohms)')
plt.xscale('log')
plt.yscale('log')
plt.title('Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
# Plot impedance phase angle
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
plt.plot(frequencies, phase_angle, label='Phase Angle')
plt.xlabel('Frequency (Hz)')
plt.ylabel('Phase Angle (degrees)')
plt.xscale('log')
plt.title('Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
```
This script generates random data for the impedance magnitude and phase angle, but in a real scenario, you would replace it with the actual data extracted from VASP simulations. This script then plots the impedance magnitude and phase angle as functions of frequency, which are typical outputs of an EIS experiment.

I heard we can use Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) or a combination of other ensembles and techniques like a third-party plugin or script by modifying the source code. Also, maybe the NVT ensemble can serve as a starting point for µVT simulation and then use a technique like semi-grand canonical Monte Carlo or Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo, both of them require significant modifications to the simulation protocol and possibly the source code.

I am trying to select the face of a box and define it as a Surface using Python scripting in ABAQUS. I had already tried findAt and getBoundingBox. The face is getting selected, but I am unable to define that as a Surface.
After the face is selected, I use this command
"mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['BottomLayerB'].Surface(faces=faces, name='TopB')" to define this face as a surface.
The exact error is "TypeError: keyword error on faces".
It would be helpful if someone could provide a solution to this error.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello Saswath Ghosh,
assuming your box is a 3D cell, once you have selected the face to create a Surface, you need to input the correct keyword with a script as follows:
my_part = mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['BottomLayerB']
faces = "The face/s you have selected"
my_part.Surface(side1Faces=faces, name="My_Surface_Name")
To check the possible keyword arguments it is always good to check the abaqus scripting manual:
Take care that in the case of 2D geometries you have a top and a bottom face, hence a top and a bottom surface that can be selected with a "side1Faces" or a "side2Faces" respectively.
Note: If you look at the manual "side2Faces" also exists for 3D cells but I never used it. I do not find the exact reference but it should be related to the normal "Outward"/"Inward" with respect the volumeto .

When I rerun the job, the error disapears and the script works fine.
How can I avoid this?
Thanks in advance.
Fernando
Relevant answer
Answer
There may be an issue with the ODB (Output Database) file you're trying to read. This error typically occurs when the file is corrupted or contains invalid data that prevents it from being properly read by Abaqus or your Python script.
To avoid this error, you can implement some error handling and verification steps in your Python script. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Check the file existence: Before attempting to read the ODB file, you can use the `os.path.exists()` function to verify that the file exists. If the file doesn't exist, you can handle the error gracefully and take appropriate action.
2. Verify the file integrity: After confirming that the file exists, you can use Abaqus' built-in functionality to verify the integrity of the ODB file. This can be done using the `odbChecker` utility, which is a command-line tool provided by Abaqus. You can call this utility from your Python script using the `subprocess` module to check the integrity of the ODB file before attempting to read it. If the file fails the integrity check, you can handle the error accordingly.
3. Retry mechanism: If you encounter the error during the initial read attempt, you can implement a retry mechanism in your script. For example, you can catch the specific exception that is raised when the error occurs and then retry the operation after a short delay. This approach allows you to give Abaqus or the system some additional time to finalize the writing of the ODB file before attempting to read it again.
Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates these suggestions:
```python
import os
import subprocess
import time
odb_path = "path/to/your/odb/file.odb"
# Check if the file exists
if not os.path.exists(odb_path):
print("ODB file does not exist.")
# Handle the error or exit gracefully
exit()
# Verify file integrity using Abaqus odbChecker
odb_checker_cmd = "abaqus odbcheck integrity=high odb=" + odb_path
result = subprocess.run(odb_checker_cmd, shell=True, capture_output=True)
# Check the output of the odbChecker
if "ODB is not usable" in result.stdout.decode():
print("ODB file integrity check failed.")
# Handle the error or exit gracefully
exit()
# Retry mechanism
max_retries = 3
retry_delay = 1 # seconds
for retry in range(max_retries):
try:
# Your code to read the PEEQ data from ODB file
# ...
# If successful, break out of the retry loop
break
except Exception as e:
print("Error reading ODB file:", str(e))
# Wait for a short delay before retrying
time.sleep(retry_delay)
else:
# Retry limit exceeded, handle the error or exit gracefully
print("Exceeded maximum retries. Unable to read ODB file.")
exit()
# Continue with the rest of your script
# ...
```
By implementing these suggestions, you can handle the error gracefully, verify the integrity of the ODB file, and incorporate a retry mechanism to give the system enough time to finalize the writing of the ODB file before attempting to read it.

Answer
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a platform that provides access to a vast amount of climate data from various models and experiments. If you're looking to download data programmatically, you'll usually use the `pyesgf` package, which provides a Python interface for ESGF searches and downloads.
While I cannot provide a script tailored to your exact needs without more detailed specifications, I can provide a basic example to guide you on using `pyesgf` to search for and download datasets from the ESGF:
python code:
from pyesgf.search import SearchConnection
from pyesgf.logon import LogonManager
# Logon to ESGF (replace with your OpenID credentials)
lm = LogonManager()
lm.logon(hostname="esgf-node.llnl.gov", interactive=True)
# Establish a connection to the ESGF search API
conn = SearchConnection('http://esgf-data.dkrz.de/esg-search', distrib=True)
# Search for datasets (change the query as needed)
ctx = conn.new_context(project='CORDEX', time_frequency='day', experiment='historical', variable='tas', domain='EUR-11')
# Print the number of datasets found
print(f"Number of datasets found: {ctx.hit_count}")
# Download the datasets (this is a simple example, you might want to refine the download criteria)
for result in ctx.search():
print(f"Dataset ID: {result.dataset_id}")
for file in result.file_context().search():
print(f"Downloading {file.opendap_url}")
# You can download the file using requests or another suitable library
This is a very basic example and may not be directly applicable to your requirements. The `pyesgf` library provides many more functionalities and options to refine your search and download process. You'll need to install the necessary libraries, which might include `esgf-pyclient` and others, depending on your needs.

  1. Filter Orthogroups: Open the Orthogroups.txt file. You can filter the orthogroups to include only those that contain genes from your genus of interest. You may need to know the specific IDs or names associated with your genus in the dataset.
  2. Identify Lineage-Specific Orthogroups: From the filtered list of orthogroups, identify those that contain genes from your genus but not from any other genus. These orthogroups are likely to contain lineage-specific proteins.
  3. Retrieve Protein Sequences: Once you've identified the lineage-specific orthogroups, you can retrieve the protein sequences associated with the genes in those orthogroups from your original dataset.
Here's a simplified example of how you might approach this using Python and the presence/absence matrix:
pythonCopy code# Load the presence/absence matrix (tab-delimited file) # Rows are genes, columns are species/strains # 1 indicates presence, 0 indicates absence # Filter genes from your genus genus_genes = presence_absence_matrix[genus_index] # Check if a gene is present only in your genus lineage_specific_genes = [] for gene_id, presence_vector in enumerate(genus_genes): if sum(presence_vector) == 1: # Gene is present only in one species lineage_specific_genes.append(gene_id) # Retrieve the protein sequences of lineage-specific genes lineage_specific_proteins = [] for gene_id in lineage_specific_genes: protein_sequence = retrieve_protein_sequence(gene_id) # Implement this function based on your dataset lineage_specific_proteins.append(protein_sequence) # Save or analyze the lineage-specific protein sequences
Please adapt this code to your specific dataset and programming environment. The key is to filter orthogroups and genes based on your genus of interest and identify those that are unique to your genus. Then, retrieve the protein sequences associated with those genes.

I have a python script to run Abaqus that worked perfectly fine with Abaqus 2021 version. Now that I have the 2023 version, none of my scripts work. I added a picture to show the error. Do anyone here know how to fix this issue? Most of them are related to the bonding type, i.e cohesive or TIE. The one attached here is appearing when using TIE.
The error says it is something wrong with line 541 which I believe make trouble for line 1863 due to the bonding type which consequently makes the file to crash.
As mentioned this script did work before the Abaqus upgrade.
Any ideas?

In abaqus software I used to take the flux values on one edge of plate by this way - using "Path" I used to select the node by node and then get the csv file which gives the coordinates as well as nodes.
But I have to run abaqus around 1000 times with very small mesh elements. So I want to write a python script which could give the flux values at those specified nodes.
And I have written a python code and extracted the node ids and node coordinates at which I have to get flux values. But when I trying to get the flux values I am getting error.
Please suggest me some way to do it please...
Thank you in advance....
Relevant answer
Answer
Follow these steps:
1. Get the output database file path: Before you can extract the flux values, you need to specify the path to the Abaqus output database (.odb) file. You can obtain this path from your Abaqus simulation or specify it manually.
1. Import the necessary modules: In your Python script, import the required Abaqus modules to access the Abaqus functions and classes. The main modules you'll need are `odbAccess` and `session`.
```python
from abaqus import *
from abaqusConstants import *
from odbAccess import *
```
3. Open the output database: Use the `openOdb()` function to open the Abaqus output database.
```python
odb = openOdb(path_to_odb_file)
```
4. Get the desired nodes: Based on the node IDs and coordinates you have, you can retrieve the corresponding nodes from the output database. You can use the `rootAssembly` object to access the relevant nodes.
```python
assembly = odb.rootAssembly
nodes = assembly.nodeSets['NODESET_NAME'].nodes
```
Replace `'NODESET_NAME'` with the name of the node set that contains the desired nodes.
5. Extract the flux values: Iterate over the nodes and extract the flux values at each node using the `historyOutput` object. You can obtain the flux values by specifying the appropriate output variable name (e.g., `'RF'` for reaction forces) and the desired step and frame.
```python
for node in nodes:
flux = node.historyOutput['FLUX'].data
# Process the flux data as needed
```
Replace `'FLUX'` with the appropriate output variable name for flux in your model.
6. Close the output database: Once you have extracted the desired information, close the output database.
```python
odb.close()
```
Make sure to close the output database to release the resources.
Replace `path_to_odb_file` with the actual path to your Abaqus output database file, and `'NODESET_NAME'` with the name of your desired node set.

Running Alchemist on Cray XC and CS Series Supercomputers: Dask and PySpark Interfaces, Deployment Options, and Data Transfer Times
Rothauge et al.
"Abstract—Alchemist allows Apache Spark to achieve better performance by interfacing with HPC libraries for largescale distributed computations. In this paper we highlight some recent developments in Alchemist that are of interest to Cray users and the scientific community in general. We discuss our experience porting Alchemist to container images and deploying it on Cray XC (using Shifter) and CS (using Singularity) series supercomputers, on a local Kubernetes cluster, and on the cloud. Newly developed interfaces for Python, Dask and PySpark enable the use of Alchemist with additional data analysis frameworks. We also briefly discuss the combination of Alchemist with RLlib, an increasingly popular library for reinforcement learning, and consider the benefits of leveraging HPC simulations in reinforcement learning. Finally, since data transfer between the client applications and Alchemist are the main overhead Alchemist encounters, we give a qualitative assessment of these transfer times with respect to different factors.
Several recent developments have enabled more practitioners to use Alchemist to easily access HPC libraries from data analysis frameworks such as Spark, Dask and PySpark, or from single-process Python applications. The availability of Docker and other containers enables users to get started with Alchemist quickly, and we briefly discussed the potentially exciting combination of Alchemist with reinforcement learning frameworks such as RLlib. Alchemist’s main overhead comes from the data transfer between client applications and Alchemist, and we ran some experiments to better understand the behaviour of these transfer times with respect to message buffer sizes, matrix layouts, and network variability"

Hello everyone,
I am currently conducting a stencil printing simulation using ABAQUS. The simulation needs to be performed in 20 different locations on the stencil, requiring a separate simulation for each of these locations. In my case, all components remain fixed, and only the location of the blade changes across these 20 locations. The simulation consists of seven steps. Throughout these 20 simulations, all conditions remain identical from the first step until the fifth step. However, after the fifth step, I change the blade's location in the sixth step and continue the simulation in the seventh step.
Given that the first five steps are the same in all simulations, I would like to explore if there is a way to execute these steps only once and then reuse or restart the results for the remaining 19 simulations. In other words, I aim to find a method that avoids repeating the first five steps in the subsequent simulations. Although I have attempted to utilize the restart option, it did not prove successful due to the blade's location change in the sixth step.
Relevant answer
Answer
You're correct that restarting simulations can save considerable computational time and resources if multiple simulations share common steps initially. Abaqus provides a restart feature that allows the restart of analysis from any previously completed step or increment in a preceding analysis.
As you are facing an issue due to the change in the blade's location in the sixth step, you need a solution that allows for the modification of your model (i.e., the blade's location) between the fifth and sixth steps, and yet still enables you to restart the simulation from the sixth step.
Abaqus allows for such model changes in a restart analysis, but there are restrictions on the kind of changes that can be made. Changes like modifications to boundary conditions, load magnitudes, or material properties are allowed in a typical restart analysis. However, changes to the model geometry or topology, like moving the blade in your case, are usually not allowed.
One possible workaround would be to model all 20 blade positions in your initial simulation but activate them in sequence in subsequent simulations. Here's how you might do that:
  1. In your base model, define 20 different blades, one for each location, but only activate the blade for the first location. Define this as a model instance and create a step that activates the first blade.
  2. In your subsequent simulations, you restart from the base model but activate a different blade in each simulation. In Abaqus, this can be done using the Model Change, Activate feature in a step.
Remember, this is just a workaround and may or may not be feasible, depending on the specifics of your simulation. You might also need to modify the workaround based on your requirements.
In conclusion, while Abaqus allows for certain modifications during a restart analysis, the changes you're trying to make might not be compatible with this feature. You might need to resort to alternative modelling techniques to achieve your goal. If you're still facing issues, I recommend contacting Abaqus support or consulting the Abaqus user manual or user community for more specific guidance.

Hello every one.I am modelling a 2D element in abaqus with ductile damage built in material with elastic and plastic properties based on steel.I would like to apply different loading on my initial input file (for example uniaxial in x and y direction and shear in x and y).And after that extract stress and strain components as CSV file for each time increments in my step.I was wondering how can I use python script for that?specially for applying different load cases.Any help would be appreciated!
Relevant answer
Answer
To apply different loads on a 2D model element in Abaqus using a Python script, you can utilize the Abaqus scripting interface called "Abaqus Scripting Interface (ASI)" or "Abaqus Python Scripting." Here is a general outline of the steps involved:
1. Import the necessary Abaqus modules in your Python script:
```python
from abaqus import *
from abaqusConstants import *
```
2. Create a new model and define the necessary parameters, material properties, and geometry. This includes defining the element type, element properties, and section assignment.
3. Create the necessary steps for each load case. You can define different types of loads, such as uniaxial, shear, or any other desired loading conditions. For example, to apply uniaxial tension in the x-direction:
```python
mdb.models['YourModel'].StaticStep(name='Step-1', nlgeom=ON)
mdb.models['YourModel'].DisplacementBC(name='BC-1', createStepName='Step-1',
region=Region(cells=elementSet),
u1=1.0, u2=0.0)
```
4. Iterate over the time increments and solve the model:
```python
for increment in range(1, numIncrements+1):
mdb.models['YourModel'].steps['Step-1'].setValues(timeIncrement=timeInc)
mdb.models['YourModel'].solution.submit()
```
5. Extract the stress and strain components at each time increment. You can use the `getValues` method to obtain the desired output quantities. For example, to extract stress components:
```python
odb = session.openOdb('YourOutputODBFile.odb')
lastFrame = odb.steps['Step-1'].frames[-1]
stressValues = lastFrame.fieldOutputs['S']
stressComponents = stressValues.getSubset(region=elementSet).values
```
6. Save the stress and strain components as a CSV file using the Python `csv` module or any other preferred method.
This is a general framework, and you may need to adapt it to your specific model and requirements. The Abaqus Scripting Reference Manual and Abaqus Python Scripting documentation provide detailed information on the available methods and functions to accomplish specific tasks.

The error message you are receiving suggests that the 'ProteinResidue' class is not present in the 'simtk.openmm.app' module, which is causing the attribute error.
To solve this issue, you may want to check if there is an updated version of the OpenMM package that you are using, as the 'ProteinResidue' class may have been removed or renamed in the newer version.
Alternatively, you could try using a different class from the 'simtk.openmm.app' module to create your protein residue. One option might be to use the 'Residue' class, which is a more general class that can be used to represent any type of residue in a molecular system. You could then specify the residue type as 'protein' when creating your 'Modeller' object, which should ensure that the appropriate parameters are used when simulating your system.
Here's an example of how you could create a protein residue using the 'Residue' class:

Oceanus Lingose To obtain the node label of fieldOutputs in an Abaqus odb file, utilize the mesh attribute of the FieldOutput object. The mesh property returns a Mesh object that contains information about the mesh's nodes and elements.
Here's how you can use it to obtain the node label for each field output value:
odb = session.openOdb(path='example.odb')
step = odb.steps['step1']
frame = step.frames[1]
field_output = frame.fieldOutputs['PEEQ']
mesh = field_output.mesh
# Iterate over each field output value
for value in field_output.values:
# Get the element label and integration point index
element_label = value['elementLabel']
integration_point = value['integrationPoint']
# Get the corresponding element
element = mesh.getElementFromLabel(element_label)
# Get the node labels for the element
node_labels = element.connectivity
# Get the node label for the integration point
node_label = node_labels[integration_point-1]
# Do something with the node label
print(node_label)
This code will display the node label for each field output value that corresponds to the element's integration point with the specified element label.

I am working with abaqus python scripts.
Recently I face a problem . I need to export volume data from some portion of the material /element. So I am selecting the required portion by display option and create display group then save it.
Now How can I export volume data to excel for only display group.
Thank you
Ibrahim Kholil
Relevant answer
Answer
Md. Ibrahim Kholil It is determined by the program used for the analysis. If you're working with commercial finite element analysis software, you should be able to export results like volume data to Excel. Before exporting volume data for only the display group, make sure that only the desired items are chosen.
If you're working with a more general-purpose program like MATLAB, you may develop a script to extract the necessary data and export it to Excel. The script would have to access the data in the display group, extract the volume data for the selected items, and save it to an Excel file.
The following is a general summary of the actions you would need to do in MATLAB:
1. Load the display group's data into MATLAB.
2. Only the necessary elements should be chosen from the data.
3. Using the xlswrite function, save the specified data to an Excel file.
Here's an example of how the script may look:
% Load the data from the display group
data = load('display_group_data.mat');
% Select only the required elements
selected_data = data(data.element_id == desired_element_id);
% Write the selected data to an Excel file
xlswrite('volume_data.xlsx', selected_data);
Please keep in mind that the preceding code is only an example and may need to be updated depending on the unique data structure and format.

Oceanus Lingose The error message indicates that the keyword input "nodeLabel" is not acceptable for the "FieldOutput" object's "getSubset" function. You appear to be attempting to extract a subset of the field output data for specified nodes, and it appears that the "getSubset" function lacks the "nodeLabel" input.
Check the documentation for the program you're using (Abaqus, for example) to see whether there is another method or parameter that may be used to retrieve field output data for certain nodes. You might also try extracting the whole field output data and then manually picking the data for the exact nodes that interest you.

Oceanus Lingose The openpyxl library, which is a python library for reading and writing excel files, is one technique to save an excel file in Abaqus using python script. Here's an example of how it may be used to save an excel file:
import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
for r in data_range(1,len(data)):
for c in data_range(1,len(data.columns)):
ws.cell(row = r,column = c,value = data.iloc[r-1,c-1])
You can alter the place where the file will be saved by using the save feature.
Make sure you have the openpyxl library installed; if not, install it in your command prompt or terminal by typing!pip install openpyxl or!conda install openpyxl.

I need a collaborator with experience in code development and, if possible, numerical analysis too.
I am currently developing an open source code in python that can be used to solve different kinds of Integral Equations.
In the last one and half years I have done some work in numerical Algorithms for integral equations with some papers already published. It has culminated to several python codes which I have used to produce the results.
The codes are all private but the results are published so I am inclined to make these codes publicly available so that others can use them at no cost and minimum effort.
I, therefore, need a fellow Researcher who has good skills in software engineering and numerical analysis to join me in this line.
A minimum requirement is the knowledge of git and python.
You can email me at nwaigwe.chinedu@ust.edu.ng

Answer
Chinedu Nwaigwe Great, Interested, In fact, 'm pleased to learn you're working on open-source programs to solve integral equations. Publish your code to make your study more publicly available and to allow others to build on your work.
A partner with skills in code development and numerical analysis would be ideal. As you indicated, knowledge of Git and Python would be a must. However, further knowledge of numerical techniques for solving integral equations would be advantageous.

I'm trying to plot solar irradiance or GHI from WRF output. Is there any python script to visualize this ?
Relevant answer
Answer
Naveen Venkat Ram Kumar SWDOWN stands for surface downward shortwave radiation, which is the quantity of solar radiation received by the earth's surface. In Python, you can visualize this data from WRF output by using a library like xarray to read in the WRF output data and then a library like Matplotlib or Cartopy to construct the visualizations.
Here's some Python code that shows how to use xarray and Matplotlib to view SWDOWN data from WRF output:
import xarray as xr
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Open the WRF output file using xarray
ds = xr.open_dataset('wrfout.nc')
# Extract the SWDOWN data from the dataset
swdown = ds['SWDOWN']
# Select a single time step to plot
swdown_slice = swdown.isel(time=0)
# Plot the SWDOWN data using Matplotlib
plt.figure()
swdown_slice.plot()
This code will use xarray to load the WRF output file, extract the SWDOWN data from the dataset, choose a single time step to plot, and finally plot the data with Matplotlib. You can change the code to plot additional time steps or to tweak the plot's look as desired.
I hope this was helpful! Please let me know if you have any queries or need any further information.

Hi everyone,
I am learning deep learning for satellite image classification using this tutorial "https://github.com/zia207/Deep-Neural-Network-with-keras-Python-Satellite-Image-Classification/blob/master/DNN_Keras_python.ipynb"
when I run the model.fit, it show error "InvalidArgumentError: Graph execution error:"
I googled this error but eventually couldn't found any solution.
The keras version I using now is 2.11. Pyton version is 3.10.9
Relevant answer
Answer
To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try the following:
  1. Verify that the input data is correctly formatted and not corrupted.
  2. Check the model architecture to make sure that it is correctly defined and all required layers and parameters are present.
  3. Make sure that the versions of Keras and TensorFlow you are using are compatible with each other.
  4. If you are running the code on a machine with limited hardware resources, try reducing the size of the input data or using a more powerful machine.
  5. Review the code carefully to ensure that it is free of bugs and follows best practices.
  6. If you are still unable to resolve the issue, try searching online for solutions or ask for help from a knowledgeable person or online community.

For my projects I need to iterate over a text file containing some subjects and change the directory to access some files using continiuos loop in python .
The text file (test.txt) has some subjects listed line by line:
sub-3101
sub-3166
sub-3168
and each of them has its own directory for exmaple:
path = '/mnt/wwn-0x5000039a52203bb1-part1/run/backup_PD_swedd/PD_total/derivatives/nipype-1.8.0/sub-3101/ses-1/diffusion_pipeline/connectome_stage/compute_matrice'
Here is my code:
import os
import networkx as nx
from scipy.io import savemat
import numpy as np
import scipy.io
with open('test.txt') as f:
for line in f:
path = '/mnt/wwn-0x5000039a52203bb1-part1/run/backup_PD_swedd/PD_total/derivatives/nipype-1.8.0/line/ses-1/diffusion_pipeline/connectome_stage/compute_matrice'
os.chdir(path)
conn_mats = {}
connectivity_weights = ['FA_mean', 'ADC_mean', 'number_of_fibers', "fiber_density", "fiber_proportion","fiber_length"]
G = nx.read_gpickle('connectome_scale1.gpickle')
for weight in connectivity_weights:
conn_mats[weight] = nx.to_numpy_array(G, weight=weight)
fiber_length_mean = nx.to_numpy_array(G, weight='fiber_length_mean')
fiber_length_mean_mat = {'fiber_length_mean':fiber_length_mean}
savemat("fiber_length_mean_sub_3102.mat", fiber_length_mean_mat)
As you can see, this code must read the subjects from text file , change the directory, read the file named "connectome_scale1.gpickle" and finally create a mat file.
But when I run it, There is an error as below:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/wwn-0x5000039a52203bb1-part1/run/backup_PD_swedd/PD_total/derivatives/nipype-1.8.0/line/ses-1/diffusion_pipeline/connectome_stage/compute_matrice'
What is wrong with my approach? How to run the code for all subjects?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer
You can't just put 'line' into your path string because it treats that as the literal string "line" and does not get the value of your variable line. You need to build the path string using an expression like (assuming the start and end portions are the same for each):
path = '/mnt/wwn-0x5000039a52203bb1-part1/run/backup_PD_swedd/PD_total/derivatives/nipype-1.8.0/' + line + '/ses-1/diffusion_pipeline/connectome_stage/compute_matrice'

The project I am working on requires me to modify the Modle file (ModelName.inp ) after the Nth iteration while the optimization is running. It is possible to use checkpoint hooks during the optimization process in Tosca Structure to run python scripts during the optimization. I have used them to modify other files during the optimization process before.
So far I was able to modify the ModelName.inp file inside the automatically created optimization job folder. But it seems like the optimization process does not realize that the file has been modified. I have tried checkpoint hooks at different times of the iteration. But no success so far. I was thinking that I might be modifying the wrong file. Or is it possible that the ModelName.inp file only gets read at the beginning of the optimization, and therefore can't get modified during the optimization process?

OpenMM sounds optimal for that, you can just load a pdb define a forcefield and do a minimization. Afterwardas the system has an energy. Basically the quickstart code that they have listed here (bottom of the page):

Hi Amal,
Assuming that the affinity scores always begin from the 23rd row and are always in the second column.
So, here it goes
1. First remove the first 23 rows and write it to new files
for x in *.txt; do
awk 'NR >23 { print }' <"$x" >"${x%.txt}.data"
done
2. keep only 2nd column from the ".data" files
for x in *pdbqt_log.data; do
awk '{ print $2 }' <"$x" >"${x%.txt}.2data"
done
3. merge them together in text or csv file with file name
combine() {
local IFS=$'\t' f
local -a header
for f in "$@"; do
header+=("$(basename "$f" .txt)")
done
printf "%s\n" "${header[*]}"
paste "$@"
}
after running the above command, run
combine *pdbqt_log.data.2data > merge.txt
***You can run these on terminal
*not the elegant solution,
it was quick and dirty.

I am creating an Abaqus model with python scripts. But the main problem is when I am creating material. Here multiple data are shown in the table in python. I want to arrange data in excel or txt file then I will call data by python scripts. Can you help me? Advanced Thanks
Relevant answer
Answer
You can read the data by a text file;
import numpy as np
x = np.loadtxt(x.txt, dtype = float)
The text file can include a vector (write the numbers then enter).
Then, you can extract value from the x and insert it into your materials properties.
Example -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For instance, for an isotropic and linearly elastic material, you may use this function:
def MaterialIsotropic(MaterialName, E, v):
mdb.models['Model-1'].Material(name=MaterialName)
mdb.models['Model-1'].materials[MaterialName].Elastic(table=((E, v), ))
# Then execute it:
E=x[0];
v=x[1];
MaterialName = AmazingMetal
MaterialIsotropic(MaterialName, E, v)
# It is assumed that you have already imported all Abaqus modulus in your code
