Products: Abaqus/Standard Abaqus/Explicit
Benefits: You can use the import capability to transfer desired results and model information from an Abaqus/Standard or Abaqus/Explicit analysis to a new Abaqus/Standard or Abaqus/Explicit analysis, where additional model definitions can be specified before the analysis is continued. Mass and rotary inertia elements are now available for model transfer. In addition, the model transfer capability is extended to support the use of any element set.
Description: In an import analysis, model transfer is facilitated by the specification of element sets that define the model to be extended. You can import any element sets that you defined in the original analysis; previously, only element sets used to define the section properties could be imported. Imported element sets can consist of elements of type MASS and ROTARYI in addition to other supported element types. The presence of overlapping elements in the imported element sets is allowed since duplicate element entries are eliminated.
