combining models
(OP)
Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone know's how to combine 2 models into one so that they can interact. Both are orphan meshes. They are 2 seperate bones that make a joint. Building a part in abaqus is not an option nor is importing it as a part.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

RE: combining models
So create one inp file with the 2 orphan meshes.
*Part, name=bone1
*Node
...
*Element, type=...
...
*End Part
*Part, name=bone2
*Node
...
*Element, type=...
...
*End Part
Then import that inp file in CAE and then create your interactions, boundary conditions, etc.

I just figured out what I needed to do. You actually can put the 2 models together just by going into Model> copy object. Then you can select what you want and make a new model that has both orphan meshed models in it.
