Hi all -
I'm still fairly new at ABAQUS and scripting in it. I've recorded a macro to create a 3-d part as an extrude from a 2-d sketch, and to create a mesh from. It also creates sets that include nodes on the ends of the part, but when I parameterize my script, I can't figure out how to have ABAQUS select the right nodes for my sets.
My problem is similar to what's here: and so I'm basically following what they recommended. I added the command session.journalOptions.setValues(replayGeometry=COORDINATE,
recoverGeometry=COORDINATE) to my script and that part of the script seems to be working fine. However, I'm still stuck on how to "calculate a center point for each edge, and then tell ABAQUS to select the nearest edge to that point." Any ideas?
Thanks!
