3.5.7. IMPORT-INP function

optional

This function is used to import the content of a .inp (Abaqus) file into the specified SesamX model.

You can import two kinds of data from a .inp file:

  • the mesh (nodes and elements),
  • the nodes and elements sets (NSET, ELSET).

You can think of this function as an automation of successive calls to ADD-MESH and CREATE-SELECTION functions, from data provided by a .inp file. Hence, the restriction stated in the ADD-MESH and CREATE-SELECTION functions still hold when importing a .inp file.

Each ELSET or NSET of the .inp file will result in a specific selection in the SesamX model.
