I am trying to model deformations of a multilayered object in Abaqus using a 2D model. The geometry of this object is relatively complex, and I have the X Y coordinates of the polygon enclosing this object in a text file, that I have generated using MATLAB. I want to import these points in ABAQUS and make a line pass through these points (similar to the "Create Spline: Thru Points" tool, but it is not feasible to add 1000s of points manually. How can I do this? If someone could guide me to some resources that would be very helpful.

P.S. If there is any alternative that is easier that XY coordinates/text files. please feel free to make suggestions.
