About Course

Product Overview:

Parametric studies are essential in engineering research to explore how changes in input parameters affect model behavior. In Abaqus, performing such studies manually can be time-consuming, especially when multiple models and steps are involved. Thankfully, Python scripting in Abaqus allows users to automate repetitive tasks such as geometry creation, load application, job submission, and result extraction.

This beginner-friendly tutorial introduces a simple yet practical parametric study using Python in Abaqus. You’ll learn how to automate the creation of multiple models with varying loads, run simulations for each, and efficiently manage job submissions. It’s an ideal starting point for engineers new to Python scripting who want to save time and scale their analysis.
