[Geoqus] Part problem

[visualdzivdzan at netscape.net]

Dear Colleague
In my personal opinion, in case of complicated geometry, and if you are 
trying to skip CAE generation, it is the simplest to generate orphan 
mesh by yourself. Use Excel if you are not familiar with programming. 
Python script does exactly the same thing as CAE, so if you intend to 
do it many times, it might be an option. It is also based on extruding, 
revolving etc. However, there is a way to input coordinates using 
python, take a look at the example given for remeshing-import analysis 
where you import the coordinates into CAE using python script. Basis is 
to set the points, and then connect them and form the body, after which 
you do the meshing in CAE. Be aware that the quality mesh will demand 
partitioning if geometry is complicated.
Hope it helps a bit

Subject: [Geoqus] Part problem

  Hello,

I have a question concerning the creation of parts. Does anyone know if 
there's
a possibility to create a part by giving Abaqus the three spatial 
coordinates
of every corner of the part? Since I use parts with a complicated 
geometry and
it costs a lot of time to sketch only the X-Y shape and then carving 
the z
dimension out of these blocks in the CAE it would be much more 
comfortable.
Also I can't imagine that these possibility isn't include in Abaqus. 
Maybe with
a python script, but I didn't find anything in the scripting reference. 
I
already found out about geometry files but sadly I don't have access to 
any of
the programs producing them and it doesn't seem effective to manipulate 
these
files myself.
Thank for any help and have a nice weekend!
Cheers,
Tobias
