Hypermesh: Change the order in which entities are written to the abaqus input file

IRA_EM_21745

Hi All,

 

Is there a way to customize how Hypermesh writes out the the abaqus file?

 

For example, the order in which various entities are written, ie

write out kinematic/distributed couplings after contact definitions and not in between element sets etc?

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can, by customizing the FE output template.

Have a look at: C:\Program Files\Altair\2020\hwdesktop\templates\feoutput\abaqus\

Don't modify these files. Just copy them somewhere and customize as you want.

Use the following TCL script to export INP:

 

hm_answernext yes; eval *feoutputwithdata $mytemplate $output 0 0 2 1 0

Where: $mytemplage is full path to your customized template

$output is full path to INP output.
