no geometry in imported model

no geometry in imported model

no geometry in imported model

(OP)
hi everybody

if i import an inp file in my CAE using import model i seem to not be able to calculate the volume of an instance because i don't have geometry (something like that).
now, since i need to calculate the volume of my new object created by modifying the input file, how can i do that?

thank you all!

RE: no geometry in imported model

You can check total volume (mass) of a model (or instances) using infrmation module (I'm not sure of name of that command) in mesh module. Sience abaqus 6.7 EF you have possibility to check model parameters by checking mesh.

RE: no geometry in imported model

Ask for EVOL output and sumup the volume of all elements to get the total volume.
