CAE - How to Select Unmeshed Cells?
CAE - How to Select Unmeshed Cells?
(OP)
I have created a rather complex 3-D solid model in CAE, that has cells that are completely hidden from view (internal to the structure) due to partitioning. I have meshed all of the cells that I can see. However, when I submit the job, I get a warning that there are unmeshed regions in my part.
How do I show/select the unmeshed cells, so that I can go ahead and mesh them?
I choose not to select a "grouping" of cells to mesh, because the built-in mesher wants to remesh the entiree model, relaxing the edge seeds, which results in an unacceptable mesh.

I have never noticed that meshing all the cells at once verses individually makes any difference but I never thought to check.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestions. However, eli215, I know how to "see" the hidden cells, but I can't tell if they are meshed or not.
Rob - again, thanks for the suggestion, but how exactly do I do that, if there is not an option in the Tools->DisplayGroup to select/deselect the meshed cells? Are you suggesting that I manually deselect the meshed cells? If that's my only option, then I'm putting in for a feature request from Simulia.

After having spend years using ANSYS, I was hoping that there would already be a 'vsle,u' equivalent in ABAQUS/CAE. I was wrong. Oh well...
