I used Abaqus macro recording when defining a set: by edge (20 deg). My end goal is to run the script for different .STEP models/geometries which are identical in every aspect except for a few parametric values. For each model I am using the same procedure for selecting the highlighted edges: create a set from edge-by-angle-20.
However, when I run it for other geometric models, it selects an entirely different e.getSequenceFromMask or as I should say entirely different sets for e.findAt after running the commands for the similar edge.
session.journalOptions.replayGeometry
session.journalOptions.setValues(replayGeometry=INDEX)
I am aware that the program has restrictions over findAt :
findAt initially uses the ACIS tolerance of 1E-6. As a result, findAt returns any edge that is at the arbitrary point specified or at a distance of less than 1E-6 from the arbitrary point.
Edge to be selected in all models which are similar with a few variations in dimensions
I would appreciate it if anyone can suggest how to ensure the same edges are selected for different geometries when using the e.findAt command.
My code:
#Sample for the same edges selected from different dimensioned CAD models
#CAD Model_1
edges = e.getSequenceFromMask(mask=(
'[#63002104 #88110 #10000480 #20402 #480c802 #10420070 #c4411',

Do not use getSequenceFromMask
This method seems very appealing, however, Abaqus documentation does not cover how masks are formed, so it is not possible to artificially generate a mask for a set of objects.
Use coordinates (findAt()) or indeces instead
Most of the time if your geometry is complex and is generated without control over vertices/edges/etc numbering then the findAt() method is your only option (along with methods getByBoundingBox(...), getByBoundingCylinder(...) and getByBoundingSphere(...)).
If searching edge-by-edge is not very efficient and getByBounding... methods do not allow you to select the right array of edges then you can try: 1) to find the first edge of your sequence; 2) then use (as you already tried) the getEdgesByEdgeAngle(...) method to find all adjacent edges.
If you know for sure the numbering of your geometrical entities (vertices/edges/etc.) then you can access them by their index. So, using notations from your example, if edges of interest of your geometry have indexes from n to m then:
part = mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['Circular_knit - 2, 3, 10']
set2 = part.Set(name='Set-2', edges=part.edges[n:m+1])
