Python scripts, templates, and workflows used to drive Abaqus CAE and Abaqus/Standard
for tire modeling, rolling simulations, and thermo-mechanical loops.
1. CAE Model Building
Scripts that create parametric tire models, belts, plies, and boundary conditions directly
in Abaqus CAE. Typical tasks:
Building simplified tire cross-sections for inflation–deflection studies
Defining belt layers and rebar using CAE scripting
Applying loads, constraints, and material assignments in a reproducible way
2. ODB Post-processing
Extracting fields from ODB files without manual clicking in the GUI:
Nodal displacements and reaction forces along rings or sections
Deformation gradients at element centroids for dissipation calculations
Temperature and stress histories along material paths
3. Rolling–Temperature Loop Automation
Automating coupled structural–thermal loops for rolling tires. Typical workflow:
Run structural (static or quasi-static) analysis to obtain deflections and dissipation
Map dissipation to a temperature model (2D or 3D)
Update material properties based on temperature, re-run, iterate to convergence
These loops are driven by Python scripts that orchestrate multiple Abaqus jobs and
post-process intermediate ODBs.
4. Script Library (coming)
Downloadable scripts will be collected here once curated:
