Hi, I am currently modelling a BRB member. I have to connect core and tube using axial connector. This requires me to add the wire features between core nodes and tubes node.
So far, I just click the nodes to add the wire features, which is inefficient. Is there any other method to achieve it?
Thanks!!
You can do this programmatically using Python and the Abaqus/CAE API, but that's only useful if you're doing many wires and it's easy to identify points based on location or connectivity.
Thank you Marcus
But what command should I use in Python to achieve that?
Did you try creating node sets or element sets before going too advanced?
I believe this is the command: mdb.models[name].rootAssembly.WirePolyLine
CAE will record your actions, so you can actually just do it once and check the abaqus.rpy file.
