I have found some tutorials explaining how to create DEM particles in ABAQUS (2019) by editing the input files (changing the element type to PD3D). However, even after exactly copying this in ABAQUS 2020 I only get nodes of the location where the elements should be instead of the particles. Should this still be able to work? Is there an easier way of creating particles in an enclosed object? As a student, I can only get my hands on ABAQUS 2020/ 2021. NOTE: I have recreated the entire tutorial about 3 times, there are no errors in the changes I made.
