How to reproduce a meshed instance

How to reproduce a meshed instance

How to reproduce a meshed instance

(OP)
Hello again.

As I told you in another threads, I'm studying diferents models for metal foams in ABAQUS.

I generate the unitary cell or lattice by creating an independent instance (mesh on instance). My problem or question comes here, when I try to reproduce this geometry with the aim of generating a multiple cell model:

I reproduce the geometry wih the tool "Linear pattern" (in the Assembly module), but the mesh ins't reproduced (and the mesh is too difficult for meshing each reproduced cell individually). How I can do it? Is better I work with dependent meshes?

Another question how to merge two meshed independent instances so as to the resultant isn't a orphan mesh.

Thanks and sorry by my poor english.
