About assembly and ABAQUS

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 ?

HyperMesh

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

Hmm alright... then.. do you guys recommend to assemble them in Hypermesh ? Or in Abaqus?

Hi,

We are talking about Hypermesh.
