On dividing a part into different parts
On dividing a part into different parts
(OP)
I have built my model using one part only. However, i realize that I need to use Constraint (Tie) which (i believe) only binds two surfaces from two different parts, so I need to divide the part I built into different parts.
Can that be done,..? or I should recreat the model from the begining
Thanks for advice

RE: On dividing a part into different parts
If you are using ABAQUS CAE try using "Partition" command within the Part Module. I believe it can be found under Tools->Partition. There are many ways in which a partition can be formed, so please refer to the CAE documentation on partitioning procedures.

RE: On dividing a part into different parts
Partition does not help as the partitioning line will not be recognized by ABAQUS as a surface.According to my humble understanding , only the border lines of a part are recognized as a surfaces the surface, unless you know a way of transferring the partitioning lines to surfaces.
please let me know if you do
