- Compatible meshes between part instances of the same assembly
Compatibility means that the element faces or element edges of the meshes of adjacent part instances share the same nodes and have the same topology at the common interface. You cannot prescribe mesh compatibility between instances. However, you can use the Merge/Cut tool in the Assembly module to merge multiple instances into a single part instance. You can then create a single compatible mesh from the single part instance. See Compatible meshes between part instances, for more information.
- Symmetric meshes
You cannot ensure that Abaqus/CAE will generate a symmetric mesh for a symmetric part or part instance.
- Bottom-up meshes
Bottom-up meshing is a manual process. You must set and apply the parameters to create the mesh for each region to which you have assigned the bottom-up meshing technique.
