add mesh informations in the inp file

add mesh informations in the inp file

add mesh informations in the inp file

(OP)
Hi all,

i have an easy question. With abaqus i mesh a part with several kind of elements.
=> but, can i write all informations of these elements in the INP file ?

for example i have a big part and i want to know for all elements :
1°) its index (easy : it's already in the inp)
2°) its volume and its barycenter
3°) the index of its neighbours elements and their common surface

do you know how i can obtain this in the inp file (or in an other file)

thanks

cheers

RE: add mesh informations in the inp file

You need to repharse everything, can't understand a word!

- If you want mesh information on .imp file than everything is there.
- Do you have access to any kind of GUI ?( Hypermesh/AbaqusCAE etc)

thanks for your answer.

i rephrase :

=> in my "inp" file i have :
- the number of nodes, their coordonnates
- the number of elements and their connectivity table

=> but i need more informations about the mesh, i want to know for each element :
- its volume
- the element number of its neighbours
- the surface area between the node "i" and its number "j" that is a neighbour

i don't know if its possible to have these informations directly from abaqus ?
=> id yes, how can i get this ?

RE: add mesh informations in the inp file

(OP)
any solution are available for me (but just we abaqus software) :
=> with the abaqus CAE (best thing for me)
=> or other solution for example with a python subroutine...

so i conclude that we can have this kind of information ?
