Coping sets and components

sagar_20757

Hi,

 

i have one half meshed which contain many nodal and elemental sets.

Now i want to reflect it to make full meshed model.

 

If i reflect the model, the sets will not come. As it is very time consuming to create the sets again because the number of sets to create are 100+.

 

Is there any way , even after reflecting the model, to get the mesh along with sets updated.

 

thanks,

Sagar

Hi Sagar,

You want new elements to be updated into original sets (1)

or you want new sets to be created for new elements (2)?

 

If (2) : for example your current model file  is Model1.hm

first you save Model1.hm

then keep only elements and sets that you want to reflect, delete all others

then reflect them (do not duplicate)

then save as Model2.hm

then open Model1.hm again

then import Model2.hm into 

 

If (1): I think there is no available function to duplicate elems into original sets, just we can duplicate them into original comp

anyway if you know tcl macros, you can make your own function to do that

Tinh,

 

Thanks.... but if import the model2.hm ... the sets will not automatically gets updated. It shows as xyz.10 ( if already xyz set is created in model1.hm)...

So just wanna know is there any way, where the set automatically gets updated..... othter wise i have to rename or merge these set again.

 

 

Thanks,
