Abaqus - Mesh for a complex part
Abaqus - Mesh for a complex part
(OP)
Dear all,
I would like to create a structured mesh of the rotation shaft that I have attached. However, the geometry is a bit complicated. I have created lots of partitions in order to be able to mesh it properly. The mesh change to sweep instead of structures. Is there any possibility to get your advice please?
I have attached the cae file.
Thanks,
Stath

RE: Abaqus - Mesh for a complex part
I looked at your CAE file and you have around 100 partitions. First, can you employ any of the symmetry planes and model only a portion of your part? Depending on your goals you may want to consider a couple of tied constraints or meshing with second order tets. The cylinders can easily be meshed it's really the junctions between them that are the issue. Section the junctions off first and mesh the cylinders. I hope this helps.

Corus -- Thanks for your file. I have duplicated your partitions to obtain the separated parts and therefore get the tidy mesh using bias. However, I would like to ask how both horizontal and curved lines can pass thought from the points in the attached picture in order to get a structured mesh.
Thanks.

I have sorted the problem out. Thanks a lot for providing the cae file.
