Can I make SECTIONS in TETRA MESH ?

Altair Forum User

Hello,

 

I want to make a model including a cylindrical shell (gray) and two rods (blue). 

 

I made a set of tetramesh in HyperMesh.

 

And I would save it as .inp and export to ABAQUS to conduct CAE. 

 

I want to make the gray section steel , and make the blue section titanium. So, I have to divide the model.

 

I may assign materials in ABAQUS, but ABAQUS doesn't seem to support dividing objects.

 

How can I divide the tetra-meshed model into two groups? 

 

Thanks.

Well, 

 

what I want is to assign tetra-meshes into two groups. 

 

Group 1 : cylindrical shell without the rods.

Group 2 : two rods 

 

 

Thanks.
