ABAQUS Wordfile

[jyviko]

I am trying to compile a wordfile for ABAQUS.

My problem is that ABAQUS has star commands like: *INITIAL CONDITIONS, *FILE OUTPUT etc., so when I add the commands in the wordfile I cannot use multiple words per command. Is there a way to tackle this and have something like whole phrase highlighting? or build a wordlist with multiple words per keyword?

For example:
*ELEMENT OUTPUT, FIELD
s, density, ener, palph, palphmin
*FILE OUTPUT, FILE=temp.out

In my current wordfile I am using "** *" for all star-like commands, and removed space from delimeter section in order to overcome this and highlight this commands. But removing space from delimeter, is causing a lot others problems.

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you in advance,

Never remove space from the delimiters list. This will not work in any language.

Don't know anything about ABAQUS, but I have 2 suggestions:

1) If after a star command always a ',' follows and '*' is not used also with a different meaning anywhere in the source, you could use marker characters.

/Marker Characters = "*,"

See help of UltraEdit about Syntax Highlighting for details about marker characters.


2) If solution 1) cannot be used, then make ABAQUS case-sensitive (if it is not already) and in the color group with ** * also define the second words of the star commands, OUTPUT for your example.

This solution has the disadvantage, that word OUTPUT will be also highlighted with star command color, even if it is not part of a command or a comment. But maybe this could be no problem, because OUTPUT in uppercase letters is not used anywhere in non-comment source.

You guessed corectly. I used /Marker Characters = "*," and most of the star commands were highlighted but still there others that are not bounded with a comma, Could I use a special character (next line or space) in order to catch the rest of the commands?

For example:
/Marker Characters = "*,* "

Thank you for you reply

Line ending character cannot be specified. Your example could work, but I have never tried such a combination. I guess, it will not and you have to use method 2).

Can you share me your wordfile for ABAQUS ? I'm programming ABAQUS with UltraEdit too. It's so great that UltraEdit propose wordfile's ABAQUS for downloading.
Thanks so much.

[jyviko]

Sure, here u are.
Works fine with all the limitations mentioned in the post. Add this to your wordfile

Can you post your wordfile ABAQUS here, please, I think it woud be more complet than that. Here you find a wordfile of PadText that can inspire you.

I have prepared this Abaqus wordfile. It is based on one for TextPad. I am new to Abaqus so I can't tell if it does all it should. In my tests it seems to be working fine. Feel free to adapt to your needs. But if you improve it please post here the updated version.

Hi arhao,

I have made some general corrections on your posted language definition.

1. /Marker Characters = "," is an invalid marker character definition and therefore I have deleted it.

2. There is no keyword ABAQUS_LANG, so I have deleted it too.

3. Your language definition was sorted using my SortLanguage macro.

4. My TestForDuplicate macro has found no dulicates, but the TestForInvalid macro (second post) reports following:

Code: Select all

Sorry! Found following invalid words:

*ASYMMETRIC-AXISYMMETRIC        <- contains the delimiter:  -
*PIPE-SOIL                      <- contains the delimiter:  -
*PRE-TENSION                    <- contains the delimiter:  -
*PSD-DEFINITION                 <- contains the delimiter:  -
TEMPERATURE-DISPLACEMENT        <- contains the delimiter:  -
THERMAL-ELECTRICAL              <- contains the delimiter:  -

You have either to remove - from the list of delimiters or you specify this keywords different like:

*ASYMMETRIC *PIPE *PRE *PSD
-AXISYMMETRIC -DEFINITION -DISPLACEMENT -ELECTRICAL -SOIL -TENSION
TEMPERATURE THERMAL

If you change the keywords list, you have to resort the keywords, best using my macro.

[arhao]

hi, Mofi
many thanks for your help. I'm a greenhand in writing wordfile, so I just edited other's wordfile most from c/java's.
Actually I sort and delete the duplicates in Excel, so mabe that's why the sort is different.
Your macros are help, maby should say perfect! Tthank you. I'll rewrite the wordfile soon.
best regards
(updated upstair)
