    combining models

    Thank you, 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.

    combining models

    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

    combining multiple orphan meshed models

    Hello, I'm not sure if you can do this but I have multiple orphan meshed .inp models that I would like to combine into 1 model in Abaqus. Any suggestions on how to do this? Currently I have 2 seperate models and would like them to interact with each other. Thank you

    Importing a model

    Hello, I am trying to import an orphan mesh into Abaqus that was meshed using NetGen. It was exported and saved as an Abaqus file (.cae) but when I try to open it in Abaqus there is an error message stating that it is unable to open the model either because the database needs updating or the...

    Anyone used TrueGrid as a hex mesh generator

    IceBreakerSours: Thank you very much for the links. This is very helpful information!

    Anyone used TrueGrid as a hex mesh generator

    Thanks IceBreakerSours for the reply, Using the bone specific geometry is highly important in what I am trying to achieve with this study. The bone I'm modeling is a long bone of a horse leg where osteoarthritic changes including increses in density to site specific areas of the bone of...

    Anyone used TrueGrid as a hex mesh generator

    Hi all, Just looking to see if anyone has experience using TrueGrid as a pre-processor to Abaqus. I'm using CT images for a long bone model where density gradients are of particular importance. The hex meshing in Abaqus is not providing a good mesh and I want to do impact simulations therefore...

    applying loads to a STL bone model

    Ha...thanks sdebock! This is just a very rough run at seeing if I can get a model to work for me in Abaqus, I will definitely be using 10-node mid-side node elements or maybe hexahedrals.

    applying loads to a STL bone model

    Hi All, I am a relatively new user of Abaqus, so please excuse me if this is a very simplistic question. I have imported the bone geometry into Abaqus (STL file of the surface geometry from CT scans of a bone). I was able to mesh the model in Abaqus and now that I want to apply loads and BC's...

    job submitted without progress

    Hi Corus, Yes but it should run a job if I have re-named it though no? Or is it that the old job is preventing the new one from running

    job submitted without progress

    Hello all, I am relatively new to Abaqus, so please excuse me if this is a simplistic question. I have submitted jobs in the past on more complex models that began to run almost immediately once they were submitted, but were taking too long and therefore were killed. I am trying to now run a...

    applying multiple loads using an orphan meshed model

    RE: IceBreakerSours Yes I am selecting MESH and no, there is no option in the right corner. There is a Sets.. button but once opened is not recognizing the sets I defined earlier in the parts nor the assembly module. I'm guessing it is because the version I am using is old. Thank you though!

    applying multiple loads using an orphan meshed model

    Re: IceBreakerSours I've tried creating both surfaces and sets in the parts and assembly modules however when I go to the load module and create a load there is no option to use the surfaces nor the sets I have already defined. I'm currently using Abaqus version 6.8-2 and am wondering if this...

    applying multiple loads using an orphan meshed model

    Thank you for the response. Yes, I am new to FE modelling and am trying to negotiate my way through the program. This worked well for my model, so thank you again!

    applying multiple loads using an orphan meshed model

    I am trying to apply loads to the distal end of a whole bone model using ex vivo pressure mapped data. I want to apply multiple loads according to the areas of contact in the joint but am having difficulty selecting sections where I want the load to be applied. Is there a way to select an area...
