Abaqus Documentation Skill

Navigate and access Abaqus Python API documentation for parameter lookups and method reference.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user asks:

•"Where is the API documentation?"
•"What parameters does X take?"
•"What methods are available for Material/Part/Mesh?"
•"Show me the API reference for..."
•"Download/refresh the docs"

Route elsewhere:

•Learning concepts or workflows -> specific analysis skills
•Running analyses -> /abaqus-static-analysis, /abaqus-dynamic-analysis, etc.
•Quick code examples -> module-specific skills like /abaqus-material

Documentation Location

All API documentation is pre-downloaded at:

.claude/docs/abaqus-api/modules/
