That looks like a very helpful tool! Has anyone tried it?
Not yet, I just use this approach to adapt the input deck manually. But the abq2ccx tool looks really interesting, especially since it can handle the *PART/*ASSEMBLY structure, meaning that it should be no longer necessary to use flattened input decks and avoid transforming the instances. I’ll definitely give it a try.
I just had a quick look at the source code. Looks promising.
But there seem to be a couple of flaws. (E.g. ROTA for body load is not supported in ccx).
Having reference nodes defined in abaqus in the assembly is also buggy. It seems to overwrite the nodeID of the flattens assembly nodes.
But overall a good starting point!
Best,
