Hi,

 

I want to put the cylinder part in a base part, and then want to use ABAQUS to solve FEM.

 

I use Hypermesh for generating mesh.

 

Should I generate 3D mesh for the cylinder and the base separately in Hypermesh, and then assemble them in ABAQUS ?

 

Or, 

 

Should I make an assembly before porting to ABAQUS ?

    Hi Senor,

     

    I think either ways is fine. But you will have more control in doing the assembly with HyperMesh.

    Yes, One can use tool > position to assemble the two components together in HyperMesh

    Hi,

     

    We are talking about Hypermesh.
