    Link Assembly

It is a simple question but difficult to describe, I shall try my best :P The pushrod from the hub is connected to a rocker (L shaped plate free to rotate on central axis) which pivots on the chassis. The other arm of the...

    3D Sketch Import Problems: SolidWorks to Abaqus/CAE

    That would make things substantially easier Rob, but I don't seem to be given that option when I import. There is a part filter which allows specific features from the original model to be pulled in, but nothing that specifies that they should come in as one part. Are you pulling them in...

    3D Sketch Import Problems: SolidWorks to Abaqus/CAE

    Thanks for the response rstupplebeen, it's good to know I'm on the right track with the STEP format. Each line from the SW model has come in as a separate part within CAE, so I have pulled them into an assembly to view them together, but they are spaced apart and do not join together at all. Is...

    3D Sketch Import Problems: SolidWorks to Abaqus/CAE

    Hi I've been using Abaqus for a while now, but have never had cause to import geometry from another program. I have a 3D sketch of an automotive spaceframe chassis within solid works, and I wish to import it into Abaqus in order to analyse it using beam elements. I have tried to import it as a...
