Exporting segmentation to Abaqus

Hi Mr. Lasso,

Ive been having a similar issue with my own work, as I have a model that I wish to import to Abaqus, however the first time I did this it opened as a surface mesh and as such I couldn’t apply sections to the model. Ive been trying to use the meshio package to convert it into an .inp file as mentioned in this forum discussion, but I am struggling in the python console as i keep getting the error that it cannot read my .vtk file as a vtk, as shown below

import meshio

>>> input_vtk = r"C:\Users\tomyf\OneDrive - Loughborough University\Desktop\Specimen1_VOI4_Scan1_1.vtk"

>>> mesh = meshio.read(input_vtk)

Error: Couldn’t read file C:\Users\tomyf\OneDrive - Loughborough

University\Desktop\Specimen1_VOI4_Scan1_1.vtk as vtk
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
