I'm using the Abaqus 2022 Python scripting interface and I'm having some trouble calling the FaceFromElementFaces() method for a Part object. The FaceFromElementFaces() method requires a Region object. I have a MeshFace object that I would like to embed in a Region object and pass to FaceFromElementFaces(). I can't figure out how embed the MeshFace object in a Region object. Is it possible to do so? If not, is there an alternative approach?
I've read:
- Abaqus > Scripting > Using the Abaqus Scripting Interface > Using the Abaqus Scripting Interface with Abaqus/CAE > Specifying a region
- Abaqus > Scripting Reference > Python commands > Region commands
- Abaqus > Scripting Reference > Python commands > Region commands > Region object
In (1), it recommends using the findAt() utility to construct a Region object. That obviously won't work for me - I already have a MeshFace object. I've also considered building a Set object containing the MeshFace object, but that won't work because sets can only be constructed with sequences of MeshElement object, MeshNode objects, or Face objects (among other things).
