5.1 Import part from output database enhanced

Product: ABAQUS/CAE

Benefits: More functionality has been added to the procedure to import an orphan mesh part from an output database.

Description: If the output database contains multiple part instances, you can select the part instances to import. ABAQUS/CAE imports each part instance as a separate orphan mesh part. In addition, you can import either the undeformed or the deformed shape. If you import the deformed shape, you can specify the step and frame from which to import, as shown in Figure 5–1.
