Import element set
definitions from a previous
Abaqus/Explicit
or
Abaqus/Standard
analysis.
This option is used to import element set definitions that were defined in
a previous
Abaqus/Explicit
or
Abaqus/Standard
analysis. If the
IMPORT ELSET option is used, it must appear after the
IMPORT option.
If the
IMPORT ELSET option is used with the RENAME parameter, it must appear after an
IMPORT option with active RENAME and EOFFSET parameters.
If this option is omitted or is specified without any data lines and all
IMPORT options that reference a previous analysis do not include
the RENAME parameter, all the element sets relevant to the analysis are
imported. References to elements that are not imported are removed from
imported sets.
Required parameter if the imported element sets are to be
renamed
RENAME
Include this parameter to indicate that the imported element sets will be given new
names.
