Dear friends,
Happy new year to all. I am a newbe to Abaqus. I wanted to know how ro find the mesh discritization error. In ansys I use to use the command prerr. I would like to know what is the equivalent of the same here.
To know more about discritization error please use the below link
Mesh Discretization Error and Criteria for Accuracy of Finite Element Solutions
 
There isn't an error estimation, as in Ansys, but you can do a basic check verifying the mesh angles, aspect ratio etc. in the mesh module. This will show you any elements that may give a warning or where the element shape would stop the job completely.

 
Thanks for the reply. Don't we have any method to print energy norm just like one in ansys?
