Hello,
Does anyone know how to create an analytical surface with a rigid body (made from a flat plane rectangular patch of shell elements) for the Abaqus profile in Hypermesh? In other words, I want to create a rigid plane to attach a bolt to in an Abaqus model which I am creating in Hypermesh version 13. But I do not know how to do this.
