Export Abaqus geometry and results. An agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub.

  • Works in 4 steps: What format? STL, STEP, CSV, INP? → What to export? Geometry, mesh, or… → Which parts/steps? Specific part name,… → …
  • User mentions exporting to STL
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, Key Decisions, What to Ask User and Workflow, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Abaqus Export is an agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. Export Abaqus geometry and results. Use when user mentions exporting to STL, STEP, CSV, or generating input files for external use.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `UPSTREAM.md` and `metadata.json`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering CSV and tabular files. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User mentions exporting to STL
  • Generating input files for external use

Example prompts

  • “/abaqus-export”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash(abaqus:*)

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. What format? STL, STEP, CSV, INP?
  2. What to export? Geometry, mesh, or results?
  3. Which parts/steps? Specific part name, all parts, specific time step?
  4. For TO results: What density threshold? (0.3-0.5 typical)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 194ef49. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash(abaqus:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Abaqus Export loads about 846 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 400 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~846

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Abaqus Export Skill

Export geometry and results from Abaqus to external formats for 3D printing, CAD exchange, data analysis, or archival.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user mentions:

  • "Export to STL" / "Convert to STL" / "3D printing"
  • "Save as STEP" / "Export to CAD"
  • "Generate input file" / "Write INP"
  • "Export results to CSV" / "Export to Excel"
  • "Save the mesh" / "Extract mesh data"
  • "Export deformed shape" / "Export topology result"

Route elsewhere:

  • Reading ODB results → /abaqus-odb
  • Importing CAD files → /abaqus-geometry
  • Running analysis → /abaqus-job

Key Decisions

What to Ask User

If unclear, ask:

  1. What format? STL, STEP, CSV, INP?
  2. What to export? Geometry, mesh, or results?
  3. Which parts/steps? Specific part name, all parts, specific time step?
  4. For TO results: What density threshold? (0.3-0.5 typical)

Workflow

Exporting Geometry (STL/STEP/IGES)
  1. Identify the part - Get part name from model
  2. Check if meshed - STL requires mesh; STEP works on geometry
  3. Call export method - Use appropriate API call
  4. Verify output - Check file was created
Show full SKILL.md (161 more words)Show less
Exporting Results to CSV
  1. Open the ODB - Use openOdb() with readOnly=True
  2. Navigate to frame - Find correct step and frame (typically last)
  3. Extract field output - U (displacement), S (stress), etc.
  4. Write CSV - Loop through values, write rows
  5. Close ODB - Always close when done
Generating Input File
  1. Create job object - Job needs model name
  2. Call writeInput() - Creates JobName.inp
  3. Verify INP created - Check file exists
Exporting TO Result
  1. Locate TO ODB - Usually Optimization/TOSCA_POST/Optimization.odb
  2. Set density threshold - 0.3-0.5 typical (lower = more material)
  3. Export STL - Use session method or GUI

Troubleshooting
