Hi, I'm trying to do a drop test of a PET bottle, using the Abaqus Manual Example:


I was able to run the model, but now I want to use my own bottle. I managed to introduce in the assembly, delete the old one and run again, but I found that the water inside keep following the old bottle shape (!). I realize that I has forgot to update the "shape" of the water inside the Euler mesh respect to the new bottle model.

I have the model of the bottle water content in position, but according to the manual I should instanciate inside the Euler water mesh (not as an assembly instance) and then use the volume fraction tool... but I didn't found the way to instanciate the water model inside the Euler mesh! Always the instances are related to the assembly, somebody has been able to do it?

Regards.
