Scaling a model in ABAQUS

[ksbolan]

Hey,

I am new to ABAQUS and want to scale the 3D FEM I have developed. I am having trouble doing this. Can anyone tell me the steps to go about this?

Thank you!

If you want to scale a part, you can copy it (Part —> Copy) and specify the scale factor next to Scale part by.

Is there anyway to scale the entire model at once?

Only if you write a script for that or merge multiple parts into one (but this would prevent you from modeling interactions between the parts).
