"no module named odbserver" error

[MaximLutovinov]

Hello,

I'm trying to load an FE mesh from an odb file, but I'm getting error "No module named odbserver". Would you have any recommendations on how I can resolve it? I've imported odbclient to my environment ("import odbclient as CL") and see "pylife-odbclient" item in list of packages for my environment,

Thank you for any help in advance!

It seems that you set as python_env_path the source code directory of the odbserver.

Have you set up an odbserver environment according to the instructions? If yes, try again without setting the python_env_path argument. The odbclient should find it automatically.

I unintentionally skipped the first half of the installation and was missing odbserver with python 2.7 environment... Fixed it!

The odbclient, however, didn't find python_env_path argument, so I used direct specification, which worked!

I'm encountering an issue a bit further now, when trying to output stresses... any ideas what might be the problem?

[johannes-mueller]

That looks like you have a 2D model. If yes, please test with a 3D model.

[MaximLutovinov]

It is a 3D model, but it has beam and shell elements besides solids...

[johannes-mueller]

Ah, ok. These elements are not supported as of now. We probably should document this here.

I would suggest to close this discussion here and open a new one in the "Ideas" section on what the odbclient should support. Would that be ok for you?

[MaximLutovinov]

Yes, of course! Thank you for all your answers!
