Manu is still having a problem:
HI Jan
Thank you for the feedback. I am actually interested in exporting the
particles to ABAQUS, so that I can understand the deformation and
non-linear behaviour of the particles (metal powder) during compaction.
If you can guide me to what command I can use, that would be of great
help.
Thanks
Manu

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hello Manu,
as Jerome already said, there is no deformation of particles. Didn't you
meant the displacement of particles? if so, there are ways to export them.
Concerning the errors of export.textExt format, could you please send a
short script reproducing the error and also the actual error you get? it
will help us to solve your problem or to correct a mistakes in source code
if there are some.
I do not know Abaqus very well, but what would you like to achieve by
exporting geometry (and also what you exactly mean by geometry)? have
abaqus some features to handle spherical particles? It could be possible to
export facets (triangles) as tirangular finite elements, but this feature
is not implemented yet (according to my knowledge).
There is also no automatic meshing in Yade, althought facets (triangles)
can be imported from some external files or can be created using gts
module. The creating of spheres (which is automatized) we call packing
rather than meshing (as there is no real mesh), did you mean this?
good luck and do not hesitate to ask again :-)

New question #203385 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/203385
I am a new user of YADE. I am trying to export the sphere packings from
YADE to a finite element solver like ABAQUS to understand how the sphere
particles deform. However, I am not sure of the commands I need to use to
export the sphere packings from YADE to ABAQUS.
When I use a command like:
export.textExt(filename, format=’x_y_z_r’)
from the YADE python file I get errors. I don't know if there is an
example in YADE manual on how I can export the YADE geometry into ABAQUS
for meshing. The YADE documentation files don't have suitable help files
in
this regard. If you can guide me to a suitable example of the command I
should use to export the model to ABAQUS from YADE it would be of great
help for me to get started.
Also if I could get some help files on meshing in YADE it would be of
great help to me.
Thanks a lot
Manu
