Required parameters if the instance is not imported from a previous analysis:

NAME

Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to the instance.

PART

Set this parameter equal to the name of the part being instanced.

Required parameter if the instance is to be imported from a previous analysis:

INSTANCE

Set this parameter equal to the name of the instance to be imported from the previous analysis.

Optional impor t parameter:

LIBRARY

Set this parameter equal to the na me of the previous ana lysis from which the instance should

be im ported. The previous analysis output database (.odb) ﬁle should reside in the current

(working) directory. If the LIBRA RY parameter is omitted, the job na me of the previous analysis

must be speciﬁed on the command line using the oldjob paramete r (see “Execution procedure

for ABAQUS/Standard and ABAQ US/Explicit,” Section 3.2.2 of the ABAQU S Analysis User’s

Manual). If both methods are used, the command line speciﬁcation will take precedence over the

LIBRARY parameter.
