VIRTUAL TIPOLOGY
VIRTUAL TIPOLOGY
(OP)
Hi,
I have imported a model of a structure in wireframe from CATIA v.5 to ABAQUS, but I have some problems with big curvatures and I have little wireframe lines that I can´t delete. I have been told to use virtual tipology in the mesh module; can anybody explain me how to do it?
Thanks in advance

I can´t use virtual topology in my model; this is what ABAQUS says:
The selected entities cannot be ignored.
An entity can be ignored only if it shared by two higher-dimensional entities or if it is embedded within a higher-dimensional entity.
I need to delete six little free lines in my wireframe model, but these lines exist because of an error of CATIA with big curvatures, I don,t know how to work this out in CATIA. Anybody knows what could be done?
Thanks in advance,

BTW This type of topological error is common from CATIA :( It seems to want to split up high order edges into separate entities.
