Adaptive meshing with linear geometry
Adaptive meshing with linear geometry
(OP)
When I use ALE adaptive meshing in abaqus, I get the following error message when running the analysis:
THE *ADAPTIVE MESH OPTION MAY NOT BE USED IN Abaqus/Standard ANALYSIS STEPS WITH LINEAR GEOMETRY
My model has two flat surfaces in contact, is there anyway I can use adaptive meshing for this model?
Thanks

For future reference, and helping others. The solution to this problem was reached as follows:
Nlgeom must be selected on and hourglass controls must be used in the meshing module.
Hope that helps
