Hi everyone,

I just realized there is a DEM feature built in ABAQUS. A drum mixer example is given in user manual. but i still cannot figure out how to do it like how to creating a number of discrete elements, defining their locations, and so on. 
Could anyone offer me any tips, or any tutorials which can be hardly found online

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I was trying to export a deformed geometry from ABAQUS. So, I chose a method found online which is using CAE to import the ODB file, i.e. File -- Import -- Part -- File Filter -- Output Database option and specify the deformed shape and then save it as an input file. 

However, what I got by importing the ODB is different with that shown in the simulation result. Could anyone tell me why is that? And How could I get a correct deformed geometry.  

cheers
