ABAQUS. How to make imported .sat parts editable

Oct 21, 2004 7 Replies

Hi there,



I'm new to abaqus. I have to import some parts from a .sat file. This appear to work. But abaqus is in principle supposed to import the parts as a non-editable base feature. My question is, is there a workaround in order to make these imported parts editable?



Thanks



Mr. Bellam


Dear Mr Bellam,

What's ABAQUS?

Sincerely, David Janes

Not unless you can re-define the import geometry in Abaqus. Try "breaking" it from a group type of object to it's sub element geometry...

Dave

P.S. Abaqus is a FEA package.

A finite element tool:

Do you mean something like, exporting the geometry to a different format, and importing it back?

Thanks

Mr. Bellam

What do you mean by "editable"? If you mean "features"; doubt it. Have you tried looking for an Abacus news group?

David - You should try

for a search engine... It groups the searches in a really useful way.

Ya - glad this Pro/E one exists. Probably there are folks talking about ABAQUS over at sci.engr.mech... just guessing
