Hello,

When you mesh your model in WB, mesh the SPG part with regular solid elements. Do not use particle  method for  meshing as you would do with SPH. 

Then, apply the section in Mechanical to have SPG particles on the  SPG body. This way, you will have SPG particles.

Note that when using SPG particles, the mesh is  still a solid  mesh with *ELEMENT_SOLID (there is no *ELEMENT_SPG keyword). The only thing that will decide wheather the mesh is regular FEM or SPG particles is the *SECTION_SOLID_SPG.

Let me know if this helps or not.

 

Reno.
