Hello,
I have a finite element method model comprised of tetrahedral elements. The model has a few million elements and a few hundred unique regions. I need to compute the statistics of i) which unique regions are in contact, i.e., share a face, and ii) the shared surface area between each pair of unique regions.
I have the model available in several formats: i) meshed .gmsh file, ii) abaqus .inp file with the coordinates of each node/vertex, list of which four nodes comprise a tetrahedral element, and the unique ID of each element, iii) a .vtk file that also contains the vertices/nodes, elements, and region IDs, and iv) individual .stl files of the unique regions that I feed into gmsh to create a volume mesh. I can provide these files as well. I am specifically asking whether existing scripts or programs are able to compute these statistics, for instance, whether ABAQUS CAE/ParaView, etc. has this capability or whether there are Matlab or Python scripts/packages that do this. Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Kris
Krzysztof S Stopka Can you share your Abaqus model (.inp)? Did you already define surfaces?
Hi Nils Wagner ,
Yes, please see attached example of .inp file. I have not defined the surfaces between grains.
Best regards,
Kris
