Abaqus Release Notes  


12.9 Preserving node and element labels in the input file

Product: Abaqus/CAE  

Benefits: If there are no conflicts, Abaqus/CAE attempts to preserve the node and element labels from the model when writing an input file without parts and assemblies. As a result, your pre- and postprocessing scripts can use labels to reliably refer to particular nodes and elements.

Description: Previous releases of Abaqus/CAE renumbered the nodes and elements when writing an input file without parts and assemblies. Abaqus/CAE now attempts to preserve the node and element labels provided no conflicts arise between any part or part instance labels. If any conflicts arise between any part or part instance node labels, Abaqus/CAE displays a warning before it renumbers all of the nodes and elements in the input file.
