What it does

Odb Extraction is an agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. Extract field outputs from ODB files for curing simulation. Invoke when user needs to read ODB results, get displacement data, or inspect field outputs.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Needs to read ODB results
Get displacement data
Inspect field outputs

Example prompts

“/odb-extraction”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

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

Open ODB in readOnly=True mode to prevent accidental modifications
Extract all needed data into local variables before closing
Use the last frame of the sp step for final springback results
Node labels from field output values match instance node labels
Close the ODB promptly after extraction to release file locks

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 nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
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

Odb Extraction loads about 701 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 291 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: ~701

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.

ODB Extraction

Description

Extract field outputs from ODB files for curing simulation. Invoke when user needs to read ODB results, get displacement data, or inspect field outputs.

Content

Opening ODB

Open an ODB file in read-only mode:

python

from abaqusConstants import *

odb = session.openOdb(name='odb1', path=odb_path, readOnly=True)

ODB Structure

The curing simulation ODB has the following structure:

Instances: ['P8-1', 'TOOL-1']
- P8-1: Composite part instance
- TOOL-1: Tool part instance
Steps: ['vis', 'rub', 'glassy', 'sp']
- The sp step has 7 frames
- The last frame of the sp step contains the final springback result

Available Field Outputs

The following field outputs are available in the sp step last frame:

Standard Field Outputs

U — Displacement
S — Stress
PE — Plastic strain
SDV1 to SDV4 — State variables
TEMP — Temperature
RF — Reaction force
NT — Nodal temperature

Contact Field Outputs

CDISP — Contact displacement
CSTRESS — Contact stress
COPEN — Contact opening
CPRESS — Contact pressure
CSHEAR1, CSHEAR2 — Contact shear stresses
CSLIP1, CSLIP2 — Contact slip

Note: COORD is NOT available as a field output. To get node coordinates, access them directly from instance.nodes.

Extracting Displacement

Extract displacement data from the last frame of the sp step:

python

last_frame = odb.steps['sp'].frames[-1]
u_field = last_frame.fieldOutputs['U']

u_map = {}
for val in u_field.values:
    u_map[val.nodeLabel] = (val.data[0], val.data[1], val.data[2])

Getting Node Coordinates

Retrieve node coordinates directly from the instance:

python

inst = odb.rootAssembly.instances['P8-1']

for node in inst.nodes:
    x, y, z = node.coordinates
    # Process coordinates

Closing ODB

Always close the ODB after extraction to free resources:

python

odb.close()

Important: After calling odb.close(), do NOT access any instance objects (nodes, elements, field outputs) that were obtained before closing. Doing so will raise an AccessError. Extract all needed data into Python data structures (lists, dicts) before closing the ODB.

Best Practices

Open ODB in readOnly=True mode to prevent accidental modifications
Extract all needed data into local variables before closing
Use the last frame of the sp step for final springback results
Node labels from field output values match instance node labels
Close the ODB promptly after extraction to release file locks
