Yes its in CAE, there are loads and loads of elements that make up the head and removing elements leaves abrupt corners (which i have just found out are even worse for the model results). I think the best thing is to go back to the original CT scan data and remove the joins from the 2D images...
CT = computed tomography, they use them to get 3D xrays of bones etc. Im using a CT scan of an insect head and having got the .inp file into abaqus I have to remove a few elements that have appeared between the mandibles and the antennae. I tried exporting to solidworks to see if I could play...
I am fairly new to abaqus and im having problems removing some elements from a model I have made. It is a fairly complex model I have constructed from CT data but there are a few anomalous elements kicking about between features. It is easy enough to remove them but any changes I make dont seem...
