Creating finite elements individually in CAE
Creating finite elements individually in CAE
(OP)
Is it possible to create each individual finite element in Abaqus CAE the way you do in other FEM programs (ie, by selecting the element type and then selecting the nodes that define its geometry)?
I know its possible to do it in INP files, by defining the nodes and then creating the elements, but I need to do it directly on CAE.

Or there's a way to import a .inp file as a model?

If anyone is wondering, its just File -> Import -> Model... and then you must specify the type of file as Abaqus Input File (*.inp).
