*IMPORT CONTROLS

Specify the full-model input format, the tie constraint formation configuration, and the tolerance for error checking on shell normals.

This option is used to specify the full-model input format, the tie constraint formation configuration, and the tolerance for error checking on shell normals in Abaqus/Standard or Abaqus/Explicit when the IMPORT, UPDATE=YES option is used.

If the IMPORT CONTROLS option is used, it must appear after the IMPORT option.

Optional parameters

MODEL

Set MODEL=YES to use the full-model input format.

This parameter cannot be used in conjunction with the INSTANCE option.

NORMAL TOL

Set this parameter equal to the tolerance required for the error checking on shell normals. The default value is 0.1.

TIE CONFIG

This parameter applies only to Abaqus/Explicit import analysis.

Set TIE CONFIG=OLD if the original configuration is to be used in the tie constraint formation for all surfaces of the imported model.

Set TIE CONFIG=NEW if the updated configuration is to be used in the tie constraint formation for all surfaces of the imported model.
