Mesh-to-Geometry Abaqus 6.13

[dnstns]

Hi,

I would like to use the geometry of a deformed mesh in a new analysis.
In Abaqus 6.13 there should be a tool to do this. However, I cannot find this tool in the programme.
Does anybody know where this feature is hided?

Thanks!

Hi dnstns,

I'm pretty sure that the tool you referred to is the "3D Mesh to Geometry" plug-in that is advertised here:

I may be wrong but I think this plug-in must be purchased from the Simulia BENELUX office.

You should contact them and ask.

Regards,
Dave

Thanks for your answer.
I saw that plug-in, but I recently upgraded from 6.12 to 6.13 and thought that 6.13 had this already build-in.
I've read this on websites.

and a similar Dutch website.
Maybe they indeed mean the plug-in...
Thanks again!
