I am trying to learn how to use Abaqus Scripting. I just downloaded Eclipse and added the pydev plugin. Everything seems to work fine.
What I want to do now is to add all the built-in Abaqus libraries or modules.
I would like, for example, the IDE to display the class members and methods when I press the ".".
I would like to see if the code compiles fine without running it into Abaqus.
How can I do this in Eclipse? Or should I change IDE? Or is it not possible?
I just tried, but no success, I don't fully understand what I need to do. I am very much a beginner at Python (today is my second day). I have in the abaqus folder the python folder. It leads to two subfolders:
-lib: full of .pyc file (I guess precompiled Python files)
-obj: full of windows dll and the python.exe which I guess is the interpeter.
I also tried to add this interpreter but Eclipse said it can not add it (Error getting info on the interpreter)
I just added the whole lib and obj folder. Maybe once I get more involved in Python I can give you more detailed explanations.
New information:
When I try to run the script it says:
ImportError: Bad magic number in C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.9-1\Python\Lib\abaqus.pyc
Is there a compatibility problem, maybe with different versions of the Python interpreters?
You can add these libraries to the settings to get the effect you want. This can be done in the Libraries setting accessed through Window > Preferences > PyDev > Interpreter - Python > Libraries. Add the .egg or source folder of the libraries you want to add and click Apply followed by OK.
