Hi,
I don't know when next version of Salome will be released, but there is a strong probability that it will support the export of groups in UNV files.
So I think that the most efficient way (reusable too) would be to develop a UNV 2 ABAQUS converter that can selectively remove groups: for example it could only export a set of groups defined manually in an input file...
the advantage would be to be able to reuse this code with other pre processors that also support UNV export of the mesh (GMSH, GID, FEMAP, IDEAS...).
As discussed there: www.caelinux.com/CMS/index.php?option=co...;id=409&catid=16
I propose that the comunity tries to develop as much as possible 2-way translators from/to UNV to/from a specific format for the mesh definition (with groups) and also for the results (scalar field at nodes at least...).
In this way, we can combine all the devellopments to create a good interoperability layer between each simulation softwares (open source or commercial).
If someone needs a complete description of UNV file format (this is an ascii file format, and not licensed to my knowledge) I can supply it by EMAIL.

The possibility to use the unv format as a format exchange layer is probably the easiest, and the most portable.
It must be seen how to filter the groups (automatically name wise or via an external include/exclude file, or interactively with a kind of GUI). Anyway creating this set of translators would be really a boost.
I saw you created a new forum for this specific and really important issue.
If you can post the unv definition, it would be great.

I am sorry but I cannot post the UNV definition on the web site: it is taken from a \" n o n - f r e e \" document and I don't want to mess with these kind of problems here.
But I can send a copy by email for people that are ready to invest some time to develop translators to/for UNV format.
To get a copy (zip file) just send me an email at:
admin [-at-] caelinux [-dot-] com
I which I could find an \"open\" reference for UNV but I don't know one. Despite this fact, UNV file format is a free format, can be used by anyone (to my knowledge) and is probalby the most common file format in the FE simulation, Modal analysis and Dynamic measurement fields.
I really hope that we will be able to develop this interface layer in the open source community:
let's go folks, do it !!!
and good luck
