Hi everyone, 

I'm using HyperMesh with Abaqus interface to set up an analysis. I want to model this green component as a rigid body but I don't really know how to do. 

Can you guy show me how to do?

Thanks all.

    Hello,

    Can you please explain how you want to do this in Abaqus terms and we can try to help you do it in the gui?

    First you might want to give us a hint as to what you actually want to do (rigid material, create an actual rigid body...)

    That can give us a better idea on how to help you and to get you to think about the problem a bit more.

    Yes, I want to create an actual rigid body, and it will move down to impact the blue part.

    Is this what you are looking for?
