Details of an ABAQUS Input File


The ABAQUS input file
A means of communication between ABAQUS/CAE and the analysis
products ABAQUS/Standard and ABAQUS/Explicit.

When a job is submitted for analysis, the input is created behind the
scenes and read by the batch solver products.
A means of communication between ABAQUS/CAE and other third-party
modeling packages.
Can import partial or complete models into ABAQUS/CAE via the
input file.
Allows easy use of archived models.
Can make modifications as necessary: edit geometry (limited);
redefine loads, contact, output, etc. (same as for native models)

Can create and submit analysis jobs and interactively monitor


solution progress (same as for native models).

Option blocks
All data are defined in option blocks that describe specific aspects of
the problem definition, such as an element definition, etc. Together the
option blocks build the model.

required and optional
parameters, along with their
values, separated by
commas.

Orphan Mesh Import

L3.11

Orphan Mesh Import


An existing mesh can be
imported from an ABAQUS input
(.inp) or output database (.odb)
file.
The mesh is called an orphan
mesh because it has no
associated parent geometry.

Orphan Mesh Import


By default, the imported mesh is considered a single part.
The Part Copy tool, however, can be used to separate
disconnected regions of the model into individual parts.

Orphan mesh editing
Even though an orphan mesh has no
associated geometry, modifications can be
made to the mesh within the Part module.
A suite of mesh editing tools is provided.
Some of the basic features include the
ability to:

Allows you to easily


correct mistakes

Create nodes or elements.

Change one or more coordinates of a


set of nodes.
Local coordinate systems

Moving nodes
The user may specify either:
the new coordinates or
the coordinate changes (offsets) dx, dy, dz, dr, dq, etc. in any
coordinate system.
Sequential incremental changes can be applied without having to
reselect the nodes.
Creating elements
A Tip button shows the node order sequence for the selected element
shape.
Invalid elements are detected.

Remeshing of planar orphan meshes
Mesh consists of either first- or second-order triangular elements;
remeshing based on boundary sizes or new uniform global size.

Overall material area is preserved.

Workshop 3: Importing and Editing an


Orphan Mesh: Pump Model

In this workshop you will


import a model of a pump
housing as an orphan
mesh. Other components of
the pump assembly are
imported as CAD geometry.

This part will be used in


subsequent workshops as
the basis of a complete
ABAQUS model and
analysis.

Workshop tasks
1. Import and edit an orphan
mesh.
2. Import CAD geometry.
