FEA Workflow

[moorjuli]

Hey,
maybe you can tell us about your workflow on using the FEA analysis. I was able to generate results in Abaqus by loading the generated .inp file into Abaqus and running an FEA, applying forces directly onto the FEA mesh, but I am not able to use the mesh in combination with a geometry (for example step). I also tried using the tetmesh generated by abaqus, with a simple .inp to .tet script, but the program is not able to read these meshes apparently (read access violation in the following line:
if (tailPos) tailPos->InsertAfter(newNode);)
Would be happy if you could help me on this!
