General Information

Introduction

The DRIVER command is compatible with the SIMULIA Tosca Structure Control.

The statements entered under DRIVER are lines of Python code embedded into the control script and executed at a certain point of the job-initialization. Thus, syntax rules for the Python language apply to the way these statements should be written by the user. This guide provides an insight of the objects and variable specific to the SIMULIA Tosca Structure Control that are also accessible through the DRIVER-command.

Step-in Example

The next example illustrates some typical statements used in a DRIVER-command.

DRIVER
  driver.registerSaveRule( UpdateRules.COPY, CheckPoints.CYCLE_COMPLETE, EventTimes.EVER, [  ], r'', r'_%i_%p' )
  driver.Modules[ ToscaModules.TOSCA_PREP ].Path = r'e:\FE_APP\TOSCA\SMATsoToscaPrep.exe'
  driver.Solver.Path = r'e:\FE_APP\abaqus\SMALauncher.exe'
  driver.LifeSolver.Path = r'e:\FE_APP\fesafe.exe'
  driver.Logger.LogLevel = LogLevels.DEBUG
END_
