mesh origin in abaqus

[Bayram2014]

Hi all,
I have built a model using cae and put the frame origin at a corner for parts and mesh like in the attached mesh figure.
When I generate an inp file, I saw nodes with coordinates that does not correspond to what I expect:
I have negative Y coordinates while all the mesh should be above the frame origin.


thank you for any help.

Check the assembly definition in the input file, there you will likely see transformations applied to each part instance. That’s the effect of operations performed in the Assembly module. You could also check the option to save input files without using instances and assembly, then nodes will be defined in transformed coordinate system (*System).

Thank you.
I have changed the translations in the Assembly.
It is working as expected.
