Abapy Install issue with Conda

[yyazicio]

Dear Sir

I have installation issue for your abapy packages.
I have anaconda with py 3 installation..
Steps I followed is first download git repository as zip file.
After in conda shell I run

conda install abapy.zip

all packages are installed.

When I try to call abapy with import abapy it gives the following error :

import abapy
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in
import abapy

File "C:\Users\zyuce\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\abapy-0.1-py3.6.egg\abapy_init_.py", line 56, in
import indentation, materials, mesh, misc, postproc

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'indentation'

Which step may I missing?

I am getting similar error. I tried installing all packages individually, however. It does not let me install postproc and misc package.

Ensure the following

1. See to that you use Python 2.7.* version. It doesn't work with 3.*
2. Ensure you put the abapy folder in the exact site-package where the python 2.7 is installed.

Hope this helps

My installation is as follows:
ABAQUS 2018
I primarily use Python 3, so I created a Python 2, environment in Conda to install abapy
conda create --name abapy python=2
Activated the python 2 abapy environment
conda activate abapy
Installed abapy as per the instructions
pip install git+https://github.com/lcharleux/abapy.git
Close everything
Now I start the Anaconda Windows10 terminal, Anaconda Prompt
I move to the directory where I have indentation_axi.inp file, let us call this directory foo, F:\path\to\foo, I am now in foo
I run the simulation in ABAQUS
abaqus job=indentation_axi
Following the tutorial
abaqus viewer -noGUI works fine
In the command prompt
from odbAccess import openOdb
odb = openOdb('indentation_axi.odb')
All works fine, so continuing with the tutorial
from odbAccess import openOdb
from abapy.misc import dump
I get error message

raceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "SMAPython\SMAPytLibPy.m\src\site.py", line 120, in _numpyHook
ImportError: No module named abapy.misc

So I quit the ABAQUS python. I am now in conda abapy environment with Python 2.
python
Returns: Python 2.7.16 .....
from abapy.misc import dump
Everything fine

from odbAccess import openOdb
I get the error message

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named odbAccess

So it seems if I am in conda abapy python 2 environment (python2 shell) I cannot access ABAQUS modules and when I am in ABAQUS python shell I cannot access abapy modules.

I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks. Also, if it is not too troublesome, a step by step procedure would be of great help for future users too. Sorry for reposting to this old issue and thanks once again.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'indentation'

Same error when installed with pip. Note that this error happens with Python 3 only, as this project is not compatible with Python 3. Since Abaqus comes with Python 2, and because abapy provides functionalities that are available only when executed from within Abaqus Python, abapy must not use any Python 3 specific code. What I recommend is forking this project, as its development seems to have stalled, and make it Python 3 compatible (without losing its compatibility with Python 2, as explained above).

That is expected. Abaqus modules can only be used from within the embedded Python interpreter that comes with Abaqus: ImportError: abaqus module may only be imported in the Abaqus kernel process

when I am in ABAQUS python shell I cannot access abapy modules.

Because you installed it for your conda environment. The way I solved it is copying the abapy directory to the site-packages directory of Abaqus Python. A better way is to set up 'PYTHONPATH' for Abaqus Python, as explained here.

These were more detailed explanations what were already given by Hari-Magara.
