[ABAQUS] How to make a mesh refinement for a revolution solid along the circumferential direction?

[ABAQUS] How to make a mesh refinement for a revolution solid along the circumferential direction?

(OP)
Hi to everybody.

I'm trying to refine the mesh of my train wheelset model (attached figure). The meshing technique used is a classical Advancing front. While in the radial direction the refinement process is straightforward, in the circumferential one i had several issues and i could't find so far a proper way.

Anybody has some suggestions for dealing with this issue?

Thanks, regards.

Omar

I assume you mesh is sweep mesh along that direction.
Then make cell partition and then you can specify with local seed that the sweep generates smaller elements in a region.
