On orphan mesh

On orphan mesh

On orphan mesh

(OP)
If on to apply BCs on specific many elements scattered in different spots in the model, one should deal with orphan mesh rather than having many partions. Now can one transfer the part mesh to an orphan part mesh without need to reassigning the sections and recreating the sets that had been reassigned and recreated on the part before the transformation.
As the assemply includes now 2 dublicat parts (the original and the orphan-meshed one), should one delete the original one before running the model
Thanks

RE: On orphan mesh

Personally I'd always use the geometry based mesh rather than a part created from the mesh. I have used a part mesh but forget the reason why now. Maybe some bug in Abaqus. With the part mesh you have to go back and reassign section properties and create new sets etc. as basically you're starting with a new part. The old geometry based part would have to be deleted in the assembly module or else you'd get an error in the mesh module saying a part has not been meshed.
