Hello, I have a dataset with x,y,z point coordinates from a CMM surface measurement. How can I process the surface dataset in Matlab and then export and define it as the beginning surface of a body in ABAQUS so that I can do a mechanical analysis on it? Is it necessary to export the surface data as mesh in whatever format? The contour residual stress analysis is my primary goal.
Thank you in advance for your response.

Hello,
If I’m not mistaken, you are talking about point cloud. First, you should import this dataset to software like CATIA and form your model with this point cloud. Then, import this created model to the ABAQUS and do whatever you want with it.
Dataset/MATLAB> CATIA> ABAQUS
Best regards.
