I'm actually an intership student I need help in abaqus script.
After a was create the model and mesh using abaqus script, I want to create elements sets to define model change interactions
I start by using the instructions:
""
a = mdb.models['Model-WorkPiece'].rootAssembly
e1 =a.instances['Part-Workpiece-1'].elements
elements1=[1,2,3]
a.Set(elements=elements1, name='couche1')
""
but I get Feature creation failed error, I try to use other instructions like elementSetFromElemntslabels or FindAt, getting 'Assembly' object has no attribute 'cells' or 'MeshElementArray' object has no attribute 'FindAt' and other error like that
so I need your help
think you

I'm a bit of a novice with the scripting, but have been doing more with it recently. Your elements1 variable doesn't actually contain any reference to elements. Assuming you want the first 3 elements, I believe you want to put elements1=e1[0:3]
 
Ok, think's I'm lose 4 days becouse a just forget e1 :D
think's a lot and if you need some thing i'm here
