I have created a model in CAE and i need to remove a part in a certain step. To do this i think i need to write the following in the step part of the .inp file

*Model Change, Remove, Type=Element
Element set name

When i do this and then submit the job the two lines i put in gets erased and the part i tried to remove still remains in my model. Any suggestions?

 

RE: Code help

As far as I'm aware Abaqus doesn't edit the .inp file but merely reads it. Me thinks you've not saved the .inp file after you edited it.

RE: Code help

If you use keyword editor (Mode->Edit keywords) in Abaqus/CAE to edit the .inp file, the changes in the .inp file would be preserved when a job is submitted from Abaqus/CAE.

RE: Code help

I think there was a bug in one version of cae so that when you thought you had changed the .inp file using the keyword editor, it had in fact done nothing. I now always check the .inp file after using the keyword editor to make sure that the changes have appeared, and that no *conflicts appear to screw things up.
