Transposing orphan mesh geometry
Transposing orphan mesh geometry
(OP)
Hello,
I am trying to take a wire frame mesh generated outside Abaqus and then analyze it using CAE. I have been successful in importing the mesh into Abaqus and creating an orphan mesh.
Unfortunately I cannot further modify this mesh such as adding loads or specifying properties.
I attempted to use the command "Part2DGeomFrom2DMesh" but this will only work for planar shell Parts, where as I am using a wire mesh part.
My goal is to capture the geometry of the imported mesh (orphan mesh) and use it in CAE. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

I am able to apply loads, b.c.s and everything else and then analyze it.
Thanks anyway for the help
