<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Hani,</p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
you should try to use the tool "point to nurb" (<a href="http://www.resurf3d.com/Pointcloud2Nurbs.htm">http://www.resurf3d.com/Pointcloud2Nurbs.htm</a>). It produces from abritraty distributed 3D points an IGES surface that can be imported into Abaqus CAE.<br>
