Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
3 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by Cai-aa on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Abaqus Export AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub/tree/main/Skill/abaqus/execution/abaqus-export
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub.git /tmp/CAE-Agent-Hub
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/CAE-Agent-Hub/Skill/abaqus/execution/abaqus-export .claude/skills/abaqus-export

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Abaqus Export in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Abaqus Export on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Abaqus Export is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Abaqus Export Skill

Export geometry and results from Abaqus to external formats for 3D printing, CAD exchange, data analysis, or archival.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user mentions:

"Export to STL" / "Convert to STL" / "3D printing"
"Save as STEP" / "Export to CAD"
"Generate input file" / "Write INP"
"Export results to CSV" / "Export to Excel"
"Save the mesh" / "Extract mesh data"
"Export deformed shape" / "Export topology result"

Route elsewhere:

Reading ODB results → /abaqus-odb
Importing CAD files → /abaqus-geometry
Running analysis → /abaqus-job

Key Decisions

What Format to Use?

Need	Format	Requires
3D printing	STL (double precision)	Meshed part
CAD exchange	STEP	Part geometry
Legacy CAD	IGES	Part geometry
Data analysis	CSV	ODB file
Archive/HPC	INP	Complete model
Reports/images	PNG/SVG	GUI session

What to Export?

Source	Available Formats
Part geometry	STL, STEP, IGES, SAT
Assembly	STL, SAT
Mesh data	CSV (nodes, elements)
Results (U, S, RF)	CSV
Time history	CSV
Model definition	INP
Topology result	STL (with density threshold)

What to Ask User

If unclear, ask:

What format? STL, STEP, CSV, INP?
What to export? Geometry, mesh, or results?
Which parts/steps? Specific part name, all parts, specific time step?
For TO results: What density threshold? (0.3-0.5 typical)

Workflow

Exporting Geometry (STL/STEP/IGES)

Identify the part - Get part name from model
Check if meshed - STL requires mesh; STEP works on geometry
Call export method - Use appropriate API call
Verify output - Check file was created

Exporting Results to CSV

Open the ODB - Use openOdb() with readOnly=True
Navigate to frame - Find correct step and frame (typically last)
Extract field output - U (displacement), S (stress), etc.
Write CSV - Loop through values, write rows
Close ODB - Always close when done

Generating Input File

Create job object - Job needs model name
Call writeInput() - Creates JobName.inp
Verify INP created - Check file exists

Exporting TO Result

Locate TO ODB - Usually Optimization/TOSCA_POST/Optimization.odb
Set density threshold - 0.3-0.5 typical (lower = more material)
Export STL - Use session method or GUI

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Solution
"Cannot write STL - no mesh"	Part not meshed	Mesh part first
"STEP export failed"	Invalid geometry	Try IGES or SAT
Large STL file	Fine mesh	Coarsen mesh for viz
Permission denied	File open elsewhere	Close file first
Image export fails	noGUI mode	Run with GUI

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Abaqus Export AI skill do?

Export Abaqus geometry and results. Use when user mentions exporting to STL, STEP, CSV, or generating input files for external use.

Why use Abaqus Export on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Abaqus Export is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Abaqus Export in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub/tree/main/Skill/abaqus/execution/abaqus-export. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Abaqus Export?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Abaqus Export?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Abaqus Export with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Abaqus Export AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Cai-aa under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
