Customization commands

This function may be used by a user-defined command to record itself in the Abaqus journal file.

For example,

def setValues( self, **kargs ):
        for arg,value in kargs.items():
            setattr(self, arg, value)
        from abaqus import journalMethodCall
        objPath = '%s[%r]' % (self.reposPath, self.name)
        journalMethodCall(objPath, 'setValues', (), kargs)

Note:

Your command should not call journalMethodCall if the command changes the mdb using built-in Abaqus Scripting Interface commands, because built-in commands are journaled by default. A command that changes the mdb customData is one example of a command that should call journalMethodCall.
