Hello,

I have a small problem on ABAQUS and I hope you could help me. I managed to get my 2D model. But now my problem is how I can create a part on ABAQUS based on text file containing all the coordinates of the points belonging to my part . So, have you any idea how to introduce and connect these points to form the part in ABAQUS.

Thank you in advance.

cordially

Scripting with Python
Do it manually once in /CAE and record a macro or look at the .rpy. These recording can be used a basis for your script.

Thank you for your answer. Just why I have to introduce the points manually. The one piece text file contains a large number of points, and I have 16 different piece. It will be too long to introduce points of 16 pieces.

thank you in advance

When you create a random spline in the sketcher and afterwards the part, then you can already see in the .rpy what commands that are. With that you can create your script.
