There is another problem, I did assembly of part-1 and part-2 in abaqus and translation of part-1. But when imported into GiD, part-1 is the position before the translation.escolano wrote: ↑Mon Sep 05, 2022 6:36 pm In fact I have already implemented a new version 0.4 of our Abaqus plugin that use the Nset and Elset Abaqus information and assign them to GiD groups
The group concept similar to layer, but an entity can belong to more than one group but is limited to belong to one layer (and the groups window contextual menu has an option to create+assign layers from groups and vice-versa)
If you install GiD 16.1.0d (the current last developer version it has this Abaqus plugin 0.4 version)
I attach also a copy here: Abaqus-0.4.zip
And about the selection of GiD, in a command that is requiring a selection you can specify it with this syntax
1:10 25 27
to mean from 1 to 10 and the 25 and 27
there are more other selection syntax with filters, e.g. to select the entities of a layer can write
layer:<layername>
Read this page of the 'reference manual': https://gidsimulation.atlassian.net/wik ... +selection
Does that mean that translation operations in abaqus are not valid in GiD?
