I have a non-mappable part and I can perform solidmap on it by using two surfaces and nodes. Then, I want to add it into my Abaqus model. Although I can add this mesh into my model as an orphan mesh, I couldn't assign it with a geometry. Is there any method for this? Or could I transfer this solidmap mesh with a geometry into Abaqus.

    Hi

    You can  move your elements from solidmap component  to geometry component by 

    Clicking on > Shift + F11

    Thanks Pooja,

     

    It works! I transfered solidmap mesh to a geometry. However, I couldn't see some components in the 'dest component' list. What is the reason of this? What do I miss about this situation? Do you have any idea?

    Thank you!

     

    Dear Pooja,

     

    I have another problem now. While solidmap mesh is not connecting to any geometry, I can transfer this mesh to Abaqus as a orphan mesh but now I cannot transfer it after connecting it to a geometry. I want to transfer this solidmap mesh and geometry into Abaqus together. Do you have any solution for this? Or is there anyone could solve this problem?

     

    Kind regards.
