Context:
Modeling space refers to the space the part can inhabit, rather than to the
part itself. Thus, you can create a part in three-dimensional modeling space
but construct it using topologically two-dimensional shell or wire features. In
an
Abaqus/Standard
or
Abaqus/Explicit
model, the new part's modeling space can be set to any of the following:
- Three-dimensional
-
Abaqus/CAE
positions the part in three-dimensional space.
- Two-dimensional
planar
-
Abaqus/CAE
positions the part in planar, two-dimensional space.
- Axisymmetric
-
Abaqus/CAE
positions the part in axisymmetric two-dimensional space. If you create an
axisymmetric deformable part,
Abaqus/CAE
allows you to include a twist degree of freedom in your model.
