assemble models??
assemble models??
(OP)
Hi
I used True Grid as preprocessor for the meshing of different parts of my geometry and created for each part an input file for abaqus. I want to assemble these now in Abaqus but i am having problems, since i do not have different parts but models. how can i assemble these different models? i thought of merging the different input files to one. can i do so, since the element numbering is the same for the different models? and how can i create the different parts?
any help is highly appriciated

RE: assemble models??
1. Start with a new database and rename the existing default model to something like "Model-combined"
2. Import your models one by one. (File-Import-Model-*.inp) You will end up with a CAE database that has multiple models in it.
3. Now use the Model-Copy Objects... This will bring up a dialog box where you can choose the parts (etc) that you want to copy from the various imported models to your master model (Model-combined)
4. In your master model you'll now have all the various parts. Instance these into the assembly, then use the assembly module to position the instances
5. Create Steps/Loads/BCs/Interactions etc as required...
