 <title>How to cut finite elment model from a geometry model?</title>
 <link>http://imechanica.org/node/3063</link>
 <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Hello all! I imported an .inp file model which was converted from another .am file into Abaqus. This model (model 1) doesn&amp;rsquo;t include any geometry information but only has 3D finite element model. I want to create an air model (Cube) surrounding model 1, subtracting model 1 from air model and leave a hole whose shape is the same as model 1. Then I want to insert model 1 to the hole again and compute acoustic problem. The question is: I can&amp;rsquo;t use &amp;lsquo;cut/merge&amp;rsquo; function in Abaqus because there is no geometry information in model 1. Could someone tell me how to do that? Thanks very much.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
