High quality mesh refinement in ABAQUS
High quality mesh refinement in ABAQUS
(OP)
Hello. I have modeled an elbow in ABAQUS and I want to refine my mesh in more critical regions like the photo below. I tried all mesh generation tools provided by the program but did not work. How can I do it? Thank you.

b) When assigning global seed size, perhaps changing the "Maximum deviation factor" in the "Curvature control" option may help.
c) Have you tried using the "Create Bottom-Up Mesh" set of options. Choosing appropriate "Source", "Connecting sides", and/or "Target" sometimes gets the job done for me.
d) If nothing else works, then you may need to use a different pre-processor. MeshLab and IA-FeMesh are free. HyperMesh is an excellent pre-processor.
If you wish, you can upload your geometry and see if someone here can help you with this.
