Hi all,
I have an assembly that I have constructed in the Assembly module. This assembly has multiple connector elements defined to represent the semi-rigidity of the joints. When I duplicate the whole assembly using the "Linear Pattern" function, the assembly was duplicated just fine, however, the connector elements that I defined in the original assembly were not present in the duplicated assembly.
Does anyone know a way to duplicate the whole assembly including all the interactions (e.g. connector elements) defined in the original assembly? I need to duplicate the original assembly multiple times to create a full analysis model and it would be time-consuming to redefine all the connector elements every time I duplicate the original assembly.
Let me know if you need further clarification.
Many thanks for any help provided!
Regards,
Heng
If anyone is looking for a way to do what I am looking to do previously, there is no simple way to do this in the ABAQUS GUI environment. You will have to write your own script to do the job. ABAQUS doesn't duplicate anything other than instances in the assembly. If you want to duplicate the connector then you need a python script to do that.
