Contents

The Abaqus scripting source code has been added to this repository. Originally run using Abaqus 2021, the script will run finite sized point loading simulations for three samples: H-shaped, Windmill, and Step geometries.

To execute the script copy both 'abaqus_run.py' and 'abaqus_functions.py' into a folder and execute through ABAQUS using the CAE or through the command line.
