Negative Volume Elements
Negative Volume Elements
(OP)
Hello,
I'm trying to run a rather straight forward, or so I thought, Abaqus loading case. After running the job I get an odb_f file that says there are 98 elements that are too distorted and 16 volume elements that are zero, small, or negative. As of right now I am not using any mesh criteria. Does anyone have a set of mesh criteria that can help eliminate these issues?
