Changing the element library and submitting the job for
analysis
The elements available in
Abaqus/Explicit
are a subset of those available in
Abaqus/Standard,
so you must change the element library from which the elements are selected to
the explicit element library.
After changing the element library, you will create and run a new
job for the
Abaqus/Explicit
analysis.
To ensure that you are using a valid element type in your analysis,
Abaqus/CAE
automatically filters the available element types according to the selected
element library.
In the
Model Tree,
expand the Frame item underneath the
Parts container. Then double-click
Mesh in the list that appears.
Abaqus/CAE
switches to the
Mesh module.
From the main menu bar, select
MeshElement
Type, select the set all (or
pick the entire frame in the viewport), and change the Element
Library selection to Explicit.
Click OK to accept the new element type.
Create and run the new job
In the
Model Tree,
double-click the Jobs container.
Name the new job expFrame, and select
Explicit as the source model.
