input_abaqus
Syntax:
input_abaqus switch
Set switch to -yes for reading the Abaqus input file abaqus.inp. Tochnog will use it to generate a Tochnog input file tochnog_abaqus.dat. This can typically be done by making an input file like:
...
echo -yes
number_of_space_dimensions 3
materi_velocity
materi_stress
end_initia
input_abaqus -yes
input_abaqus_mesh -no
input_abaqus_continue -yes
...
include tochnog_abaqus.dat
...
( other data , you can use the abaqus sets of tochnog_abaqus.dat )
...
end_data
You need to initialise the fields like materi_velocity, materi_stress, etc that you will actually use later in the calculation. Only a limited set of data is transferred from the Abaqus input file to the Tochnog input file; You need to check if the Tochnog input file is like You want. Abaqus element sets and node sets are evaluated and can be used in the Tochnog calculation.

input_abaqus_continue
Syntax:
input_abaqus_continue switch
If switch is set to -yes then after tochnog_abaqus.dat is generated the remainder of the input le read and the calculation continues. If switch is set to -no then after tochnog_abaqus.dat is generated the remainder of the input file will not be read and the calculation aborts. The input_abaqus_continue record should always be present as last record of the input_abaqus_* records.
input_abaqus_group
Syntax:
input_abaqus_group switch
If switch is set to -yes then also group_* is written to tochnog_abaqus.dat. If switch is set to -no then no group_* is written to tochnog_abaqus.dat. So you can set switch to -no in case you want to provide the group_* yourself, and don’t want it to be taken from the abaqus.inp. By default, if input_abaqus_group is not specied, the switch is set to -yes.
input_abaqus_mesh
Syntax:
input_abaqus_mesh switch
If switch is set to -no then only mesh data is written to tochnog_abaqus.dat; so timestep information and post processing prints are not written. This record should be placed before the input_abaqus_continue record.
Note
By default the switch is set to -no.
