Reading data in external file and assign as a boundary condition in abaqus

[fifiariff]

Hi Guys,

How do you include the external file as a boundary condition to abaqus input file?
For example,
i have thousand of nodes that i have to assign the displacement at the nodes.

This is my abaqus input file.

** BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
*Boundary
*include,input=u1.rpt

This is my external file "u1.rpt" that contains (no of nodes, first DOF, Last DOf, disp. value)
10,1,1,0.595
12,1,1,0.606
13,1,1,0.612
16,1,1,0.643

However, the following does not work and give error "Mesh does not exist This occurred while getting a region for a boundary condition. The boundary condition will be ignored".


Any help would be much appreciated
Thank you.

Can you share these files ? Did you try pasting the content of the .rpt file to the .inp one to see if it works then ?

Thank you for your prompt reply.
Yes, i already paste the content of the .rpt file to .inp file. Still does not work and give same error like previous one (see the below image).
I also attached the file of .inp and .rpt for your reference.
Thank you.

It's better to run this directly from the command line, without importing the model to Abaqus/CAE. Then there are different error messages - "Unknown assembly id ...". Your input file is defined in terms of parts and assemblies. Use "flat" input file instead - check the option "Do not use parts and assemblies in input files" in Model --> Edit Attributes before exporting.
