ABAQUS invalid entity messages....
ABAQUS invalid entity messages....
(OP)
Hi all, new user here....
I'm currently doing some structural analysis of models that I have made in Solidworks, and importing in the IGES format. However I'm unable to work on them in Abaqus (6.5-1), which says that the models are invalid, shown by a series of red vertices.
I have checked the model in Solidworks which is telling me that they're OK. The repair options don't seem to do anything or come up with more error messages...
Does anyone know a way around this?
Cheers, Mike

When i run a query it says:
Part: "part2-new", Modeling space: 3D, Type: Deformable
Status: Invalid
It is a shell part(126 shell faces, 1464 edges, 1464 vertices)
It should be a solid part so i'm not sure if this needs changing also, I've tried importing in .sat format and exactly the same thing occurs.

Depending on the problems ensuing form importing from SW, it is often easier to start from scratch in abaqus.
