11.16.4 Using the Query toolset in the Part module

Select ToolsQuery from the main menu bar, or click the tool in the Query toolbar to start the Query toolset.

You can use the Query toolset to request either general information or module-specific information. For a discussion of the information displayed by general queries, see Obtaining general information about the model, Section 71.2.2.

The following queries are specific to the Part module:

Part attributes

Abaqus/CAE displays the part name, modeling space, and type in the message area along with the shape (solid, shell, wire, or point) and the number of entities (cells, faces, edges, and vertices).

Regeneration warnings

If any sets or surfaces in the selected part cannot be regenerated because their underlying geometry has been modified or deleted, Abaqus/CAE displays the set or surface name, the original number of faces, and the number of faces found during the query.

Substructure statistics

Abaqus/CAE displays the following information about the selected substructure part: the number of retained nodes, eigenmodes, and substructure loads in the part; the availability of the recovery matrix, gravity load vectors, reduced mass matrix, reduced structural damping matrix, and reduced viscous damping matrix in the substructure; and mass properties of the substructure.
