Installation Structure

How to Run De-la-mo

Each of the Python scripts in the examples/ directory can be run directly from a Python interpreter. This will create a subdirectory with the _output suffix containing the generated CAD model (.step file) and generated Python script for ABAQUS (.py file). Run the generated .py file inside ABAQUS/CAE to perform the desired analysis.

The delamo_process utility (in the scripts/ directory) can be used as a helper to assist in running De-la-mo scripts. It is especially helpful for multi-step processes such as automated damage insertion.
