A part has the following attributes:
Modeling Space
When you import a part, ABAQUS/CAE scans the file and tries to determine the modeling space of the part being imported as follows:
If ABAQUS/CAE determines the part is three-dimensional, it sets the modeling space to three-dimensional.
If ABAQUS/CAE determines the part is planar, you can choose whether the modeling space is two- or three-dimensional.
If ABAQUS/CAE determines the part is planar and that its geometry does not cross the Y-axis, you can choose whether the modeling space is axisymmetric, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional. If you choose axisymmetric, the Y-axis is assumed to be the axis of revolution, and you can add a twist degree of freedom.
Type
ABAQUS/CAE always assumes that the part type is deformable. Toggle on Discrete rigid to import a discrete rigid part. For more information, see “Part types,” Section 11.4.2.
Although you cannot define an imported part to be an analytical rigid part, you can import the geometry of the analytical rigid part into a sketch. You can then create a new analytical rigid part and copy the imported sketch into the Sketcher toolset.
