Thank you, I just figured out what I needed to do. You actually can put the 2 models together just by going into Model> copy object. Then you can select what you want and make a new model that has both orphan meshed models in it.

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone know's how to combine 2 models into one so that they can interact. Both are orphan meshes. They are 2 seperate bones that make a joint. Building a part in abaqus is not an option nor is importing it as a part. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hello, I'm not sure if you can do this but I have multiple orphan meshed .inp models that I would like to combine into 1 model in Abaqus. Any suggestions on how to do this? Currently I have 2 seperate models and would like them to interact with each other. Thank you

Hello, I am trying to import an orphan mesh into Abaqus that was meshed using NetGen. It was exported and saved as an Abaqus file (.cae) but when I try to open it in Abaqus there is an error message stating that it is unable to open the model either because the database needs updating or the...

IceBreakerSours: Thank you very much for the links. This is very helpful information!

Thanks IceBreakerSours for the reply, Using the bone specific geometry is highly important in what I am trying to achieve with this study. The bone I'm modeling is a long bone of a horse leg where osteoarthritic changes including increses in density to site specific areas of the bone of...

Hi all, Just looking to see if anyone has experience using TrueGrid as a pre-processor to Abaqus. I'm using CT images for a long bone model where density gradients are of particular importance. The hex meshing in Abaqus is not providing a good mesh and I want to do impact simulations therefore...

Ha...thanks sdebock! This is just a very rough run at seeing if I can get a model to work for me in Abaqus, I will definitely be using 10-node mid-side node elements or maybe hexahedrals.

Hi All, I am a relatively new user of Abaqus, so please excuse me if this is a very simplistic question. I have imported the bone geometry into Abaqus (STL file of the surface geometry from CT scans of a bone). I was able to mesh the model in Abaqus and now that I want to apply loads and BC's...

Hi Corus, Yes but it should run a job if I have re-named it though no? Or is it that the old job is preventing the new one from running

Hello all, I am relatively new to Abaqus, so please excuse me if this is a simplistic question. I have submitted jobs in the past on more complex models that began to run almost immediately once they were submitted, but were taking too long and therefore were killed. I am trying to now run a...

RE: IceBreakerSours Yes I am selecting MESH and no, there is no option in the right corner. There is a Sets.. button but once opened is not recognizing the sets I defined earlier in the parts nor the assembly module. I'm guessing it is because the version I am using is old. Thank you though!

Re: IceBreakerSours I've tried creating both surfaces and sets in the parts and assembly modules however when I go to the load module and create a load there is no option to use the surfaces nor the sets I have already defined. I'm currently using Abaqus version 6.8-2 and am wondering if this...

Thank you for the response. Yes, I am new to FE modelling and am trying to negotiate my way through the program. This worked well for my model, so thank you again!

I am trying to apply loads to the distal end of a whole bone model using ex vivo pressure mapped data. I want to apply multiple loads according to the areas of contact in the joint but am having difficulty selecting sections where I want the load to be applied. Is there a way to select an area...
