Hello all,

I am modelling a 3D cylinder, which has random orientation in ABAQUS. I have the two end coordinate of the cylinder as (43.114, 40.845, 69.564) and (9.944, 34.379, 72.238) and the radius of the cylinder as 3.34. Can anybody help me to construct the cylinder using these data?

Basically I am try to model a 3D RVE in ABAQUS whose fibers are placed at random as shown in Fig. I have developed the RVE in MATLAB but I am not able to create the model in ABAQUS.

Any help is appreciated ....
