There will be multiple *Part sections, each containing a *Node and *Element section.  The node and element IDs will begin at 1 for each section, and Ansys won&#8217;t allow the duplicate ID&#8217;s. You can write out from Abaqus in a flattened format. Another solution is to separate each *Node, *Element section of each *Part into a separate file.  Use Multiple External Model systems linked to one downstream Mechanical Model system (Ansys model assembly mode). If you want to retain the *nset and *elset sections, move them to the appropriate file for the part instance they reference and delete the instance terminology after the *nset and *elset commands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-166999","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-4391","topic-tag-general","topic-tag-structural-mechanics","topic-tag-workbench-platform"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["5\/4\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_author_ip":["209.182.204.162"],"_btv_view_count":["5247"],"siebel_km_number":["2055172"],"product_version":["19"],"km_published_date":["2018-07-05T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Structural Mechanics"],"application_name":["Workbench Platform"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166999\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
