Problem exporting volume mesh

[yanchen291]

Hi there,

I am trying to export a simple 2D weave as volume mesh. When I set the periodic boundary conditions to Material Continuum, I would get an incomplete Abaqus inp file with only nodes and elements. However, if I chose Single Layer RVE, a complete inp file would be generated. I am not sure why this is happening. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Yan

Hi Yan,

Please could you send details of what you're doing so that I can see exactly what the problem is. I've just tried exporting a plain weave with both single layer and material continuum (using TexGen 3.8.0) and the boundary conditions seem to be generated with no problem.

Best regards,
Louise

Hi Louise,

I used the default settings in 2D weave wizard and created a test plain weave for volume mesh exporting. The inp file I get from this is incomplete. Thank you for your help.

Hi Yan,

I can reproduce it now. This problem has been corrected and will be included in the next release. In the meantime if you need it you could download the code from the repository and build the core module.

Best regards,
Louise

Thanks, Louise. I will give it a try.
