Modifying the model data (model size) from an existing input file
Modifying the model data (model size) from an existing input file
(OP)
Hi all,
I have an input file of a simulation run in abaqus. I desperately ,wanted to know how to change the size (dimension) of the model through modifying just the already existing input file rather than using the GUI again for creating a model of different size.
Kindly correct if I am wrong. From the existing input file, the first node values and the last node values gives the overall dimension (size) of the existing model . But, I wanted to change the size of the model and again run the simulation. My existing model has around 1350 nodes.

On the other hand, you may want to open the .rpy and/or the .jnl file available in the scratch directory and see if you can find the appropriate Python code. If you are familiar with Python scripting, perhaps, you could regenerate the whole model.
