Extract Model Geometry from Customized Orphan Mesh
Extract Model Geometry from Customized Orphan Mesh
(OP)
Hello
I have a modified .inp Abaqus file which creates a customized (particular numbering order) mesh grid without making the model geometry in abaqus/cae. When I import this file into Abaqus, I get the following error: "WARNING: Empty part PART-1. This occurred while reading keyword options within part definition." which implies the model geometry is not defined. There is only Orphan Mesh, however no mdb file exists to extract the geometry out of. I wonder if there is a way to deal with this issue? Is it possible to somehow include the geometry definition into the inp file?
Please help.
Thank you

RE: Extract Model Geometry from Customized Orphan Mesh
I attached my .inp file. All of the nodes/elements specs are obtained according to the geometry, but like I said, I don't want to deal with visualization cae module since the model geometrical size is frequently changed. So, I wonder if I can somehow control the inp file and run the simulation or can I control the input dimensions in the cae without drawing the part each time?
Thank you much

It needs to be
*Part, name=MyPart
*Node
(All your nodes)
*Element
(All your elements)
etc etc.

1. I want to model blah blah blah
2. I have made the model in the visual CAE
3. I have the .inp after running the job in the CAE
etc etc
Right now you are explaining things in the middle of a jumbled mess...and I can't really help you all that much without some clear background information and a list of clear goals.
