Import analyses

Import analyses

Import analyses

(OP)
Hi
I want to do an improt analyses. Analyse a forming step in explicit and springback in standard. The only problem is that the model is pretty big so I created it by CAE. The import analyses cant be done if the model is an assembly of part instances which CAE does. The only thought I had to avoid this was to modify the input file manually so that it comes out as node and element sets which you can import but this is cumbersome. One person suggested that you could create a flat input file from CAE (without assemblies/parts) by setting "cae_no_parts_input_file=ON" in the abaqus env file but I did not find this option in the env file. Any suggestions on this import problem will be appreciated. Thanks.

RE: Import analyses

You can create a flat input file by using a different version of CAE. I think it's 6.4.4

Corus,
I am not exactly clear how to do that. Do you have more info on that. Thanks a lot for your time.

RE: Import analyses

No sure what Corus meant in his post...

...but try the following command in the CLI (i.e. the command line editor in CAE)

>>> m = mdb.models['Model-1'].setValues(noPartsInputFile=ON)

(assuming 'Model-1' is your model name)

The other suggestion you had was to set an environment variable cae_no_parts_input_file=ON. This is a bit of a heavy handed approach since it will require you to unset it (by quitting CAE and restarting in a new shell window). The command is easier since you can reissue it (with OFF as the value) to put things back to normal.

Thanks a lot. I will write out the input file and see if the import works out.
