Import model with a displacement
Import model with a displacement
(OP)
Hi everybody
I am trying to include(import) a sub-model but I need to get it done with a translation. In LSDyna was as easy as writing *INCLUDE_TRANSFORM but I can not find something similar in ABAQUS.
Maybe it could be done with *NMAP but I dont know how.
Someone can help me? Thanks a lot!

Thanks for answering so fast. I am not working with the CAE environment, just with code. I don't think that is possible to work with assemblies in text mode or at least it must be really difficult.
Any ideas/help?
Thanks!!

If this sounds unappealing try using the *transform command. Details can be found here https://w
It's a pretty simple python command that you place in the .inp file and apply to each *nset you have.
good luck. have fun.

First copy nodes and use translation and rotation. Its a bit tricky with the CHANGENUMBER option.
Then *ELCOPY and be careful to use in SHIFT NODES the number used in CHANGENUMBER.
But now I get my part doubled but I can not delete it. Tried with *MODEL CHANGE, DELETE and addign the element sets but it is not working.
