"Application of ABAQUS secondary development in simulation analysis of O-ring seal"

Abstract

Pre-post processing model of ABAQUS was developed secondarily based on Python language, and the simulation evaluation plug-in of typical O-ring seal structure was formed. The results showed that based on the plug-in, geometric mode-ling, material assignment, mesh division, boundary loading, and result post-processing could be quickly performed and automatically generate Word reports , which could helped identify key design parameters that affected the sealing performance, verified design rationality, saved simulation time and greatly improved simulation efficiency.
