It seems that some boundary conditions can be only prescribed on mesh nodes ,e.g, when one wants to apply hydrostatic pore pressure on a face of a dam one has to calculate (manually) the pressure on each node on that face and then put the number as a boundary condition on that node. Do you guys have another opinion?
Now prescribing BCs on a mesh is not possible in ABAQUS unless it is an orphan mesh. How can I transfer my mesh to an orphan mesh?
Thank you for support

MCC1966,
If you are using ABQUS CAE. In the part module go to 'mesh'.
Then click 'creat a mesh part'.
