I want to use the same geometry that I drew it in ABAQUS and import again in a different ABAQUS model (not copying). I'm trying with File-export to save it, but when I'm gonna import it again, it doesn't work. could you please help me?
If you want to export/import geometry between two CAE files (see figure "Export-Import" attached):
1.In Models tree, right click and select Import.
2. Select the CAE file which contains the geometry that you want to use (in attached figure, "Small_Punch.cae").
3. Select the model in the selected CAE file where the geometry is located (in attached figure, "Small_Punch_Test"). After this operation, you have in your Models tree, the model that contains the geometry that you want to copy.
4. In Models tree, right click and select Copy Objects.
If you want to export/import geometry between two models in the same CAE file, you use Copy Objects directly.
