Preprocessing

Libraries mainly meant for preprocessing of data before simulation

• abapy - Abaqus Python “AbaPy” contains tools to build, postprocess and plot automatic finite element simulations using Abaqus.
• NK-FEMeshUtils - Python implementation for handling of FE Mesh data from LS-DYNA and RADIOSS.
• AbqParse - A simple parser for Abaqus input files that parses out the keywords, parameters, and data lines.
• abaqus2dyna - abaqus2dyna is a script to convert, in a limited fashion, Abaqus keyword inputfiles to LS-DYNA keyword input files.
• pycalculix - pycalculix is a Python 3 library to automate and build finite element analysis (FEA) models in Calculix.
• pyDOE - library for creating design of experiments studies
