At a glance

Define initial conditions and predefined fields. An agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub.

  • Works in 4 steps: Identify Field Type → Define Region → Set Values or Import → …
  • User mentions initial temperature
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, Key Decisions, What to Ask User and Workflow: Setting Up Fields, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Abaqus Field is an agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. Define initial conditions and predefined fields. Use when user mentions initial temperature, pre-stress, residual stress, or import from previous analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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`).

The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User mentions initial temperature
  • Residual stress
  • Import from previous analysis

Example prompts

  • “/abaqus-field”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Field Type
  2. Define Region
  3. Set Values or Import
  4. Verify Step

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 Field loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 446 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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 Field Skill

This skill defines initial conditions and predefined fields in Abaqus. Use it to set starting states or import results from previous analyses.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user mentions:

  • "initial temperature", "starting temperature", "the part starts at..."
  • "pre-stress", "residual stress", "initial stress"
  • "initial velocity" (for impact/explicit dynamics)
  • "import temperature from thermal analysis"
  • "transfer results from previous analysis"
  • "bolt pre-tension", "bolt preload"

Route elsewhere:

  • Fixed temperature boundary conditions → /abaqus-bc
  • Heat flux, convection, radiation loads → /abaqus-load
  • Time-varying fields via amplitude → /abaqus-amplitude

Key Decisions

Field Type Selection
User NeedField TypeTypical Use
Starting temperatureTemperatureThermal stress from uniform T
Residual stressStressPre-stressed members
Impact velocityVelocityExplicit dynamics
From other analysisPredefined TemperatureSequential thermal-structural
Custom variablePredefined FieldUser-defined behaviors
Distribution Type
TypeWhen to Use
UNIFORMSame value everywhere
FROM_FILEImport from ODB or FIL
ANALYTICAL_FIELDExpression-based (X, Y, Z)
USER_DEFINEDVia user subroutine

What to Ask User

If information is missing, ask:

  1. What initial condition? Temperature, stress, velocity, or custom field?
  2. Uniform or varying? Same value everywhere or position-dependent?
  3. Import from ODB? If transferring, which file/step/frame?
  4. Region? Entire model or specific region?
  5. Value(s)? Magnitude, stress components, or velocity vector?

Workflow: Setting Up Fields

Step 1: Identify Field Type

Match user request to field type:

  • Temperature values → Temperature field
  • Stress state → Stress field
  • Moving parts → Velocity field
  • Previous analysis results → FROM_FILE distribution
Step 2: Define Region

Determine where the field applies:

  • Entire model (assembly set)
  • Specific part instance
  • Element set or node set
Show full SKILL.md (190 more words)Show less
Step 3: Set Values or Import

For uniform fields: specify single magnitude or component values. For imported fields: ODB path, step name, increment number.

Step 4: Verify Step

Initial conditions use createStepName='Initial'. Predefined fields in analysis steps use the step name.

Sequential Thermal-Structural Workflow

  1. Run thermal analysis, save ODB
  2. Import temperature as predefined field in structural model
  3. Temperature causes thermal strain (requires expansion coefficient)

Key Parameters

ParameterNotes
createStepName'Initial' for initial conditions, step name for predefined
distributionTypeUNIFORM, FROM_FILE, ANALYTICAL_FIELD
fileNameODB path for FROM_FILE distribution
beginStep/endStepFrame selection for ODB import

Validation Checklist

  • Correct field type for the physics
  • Region covers intended elements/nodes
  • Step name is correct (Initial vs analysis step)
  • For FROM_FILE: ODB exists and contains required data
  • For thermal stress: material has expansion coefficient

Troubleshooting

ProblemLikely CauseSolution
Field not appliedWrong region or stepVerify region covers elements
Cannot read from ODBODB locked or wrong pathClose other sessions, check path
Temperature mismatchMesh incompatibilityUse mapping tolerance options
Stress equilibrium errorStress not self-equilibratingReview stress field consistency
