Question about using ABAQUS input (.inp) files 1

[maxmg]

Hi all,

I currently have 29 ABAQUS input files, each one representing a bone in the human hand, wrist or arm. I imported them into ABAQUS today and noticed that I wasn't able to integrate them all onto one global coordinate system, such that I can view my complete model instead of each part separately. Is it possible to group the .inp models onto one global coordinate system?

Thanks,
Max

After you imported the models from .inp files,
use Menu->Model->Copy Objects to copy the parts in the same model.
Then, go to Assembly model to instantiate the Part Instances. You can further position the part instances relative to each other etc.
