Extracting geometry from orphan mesh
Extracting geometry from orphan mesh
(OP)
Hi
Dear Friends
I am trying to use * map solution option in abaqus. I use CAE. I have imported the deformed shape from odb but it is in orphan mesh form.Is it possible to extract a solid geometric part from it in cae?
Thanks

Thanks , I will try that although it apparently includes some deficiencies.there most be a command in abaqus to perform this directly.

orphanPart=mdb.models["Modelname"].parts["Partname"]
mdb.models["Modelname"].Part2DGeomFrom2DMesh(name="newpart_name",part=orphanPart,featureAngle=0)

Thank you 76185 ,
As you have said i found the related code lines in examples.
What should i do now for solution mapping? I consider next steps as follows :
remesh the deformed shape and introduce boundary conditions and loads once again
write input file and add * map solution and step and increment numbers to it
Now , how should i make abaqus understand from which job and database should it read the nodal values and map it to new job?
Thank you very much for you help and
Best regards
