Abaqus-CAE : Radial Partition

[shubbad]

Hello everyone, I need some help. I need to create a partition on a surface, similar to what I've shown in the front view. However, I am struggling to partition it in 3D. Should I sketch the section and revolve it to ensure the entire radial surface is divided into 200 mm segments? I've attached a figure for better clarity. Please guide me.

Regards,
Shub

I'm not sure how you want to partition it and where that 200 mm dimension is. It would be better to mark it on the 3D model. Do you want to partition only the surface or some volume ? There are different partitioning techniques for faces and volumes. It will be much easier if it's possible to do this using a datum plane.

Hello Sir.
I have highlighted the relevant area in pink on the 3D model. I need to create a 200 mm partition so that I can assign two different properties to the sections.

Thanks & Regards,

The above pictures don't explain how (not what) should be partitioned. Maybe for now make 2 parts of it - duplicate the part and cut the unnecessary segment from one copy using CAD operations, then assemble the parts together and color them based on instances.

Hello sir, sorry for the confusion earlier. Let me explain the situation. The concreting was completed up to the shaded region, but due to the rain, a 200 mm layer of concrete was washed away. In my analysis, I want to partition this 200 mm layer so I can assign it a different property.

Try using the Extend face partitioning technique. And n-sided patch if needed too.
