I am trying to make a restart and I need to create a new nset so that I can apply a new boundary condition.

The input deck is exported from abaqusCAE.

is there a workaround?

Thanks,

Mihai
 
Mihai,

refer to section 2.10.1 "Defining an assembly" of Abaqus Analysis User's Manual.

Basically you define a new set the following way:

*Nset, Nset=Assembly.nload, Instance=PART-1-1
1708, 2857

or

*Nset, Nset=Assembly.nload
PART-1-1.1708, PART-1-1.2857

assuming that the model in the input file is defined as an assembly.
I think the trick here is to prepend the name of the assembly to the name of the new set; in this case the name of the assembly is "Assembly" and the name of the new set is "nload".
