Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: The Abaqus Python Development Environment (PDE) now provides improved control over watch list variables, enabling you to delete them from the list, change their string format, and stop program execution when the variable changes.
Description: The Watch List dialog box in the Abaqus PDE now includes the following enhancements that provide greater control over watch variables:
You can remove a variable from the watch list.
You can switch a variable's display format between repr and str formats. The repr() function returns a string that is better suited to being read by the Python interpreter, while the str() function returns a string better suited to printing.
You can stop program execution upon a change to the selected watch variable. If this option is selected, the Abaqus PDE pauses execution at the line after a change to the value of the specified watch variable.
