    How to refine an axisymmetric mesh in the contact region ?

    I finally found a pretty satisfying mesh and managed to achieve very good results with it. I am now confronted with another problem. I would like to take non-equi biaxial residual stresses into account and study their influence. Therefore I would like to subject the lateral surface of the...

    How to refine an axisymmetric mesh in the contact region ?

    Sorry, I actually didn't try the Bias tool. I will play around this feature and see if I get something satisfying. Best

    How to refine an axisymmetric mesh in the contact region ?

    Hi, Thank you for your help. I already tried a similar mesh but I would really like to mesh with Hex. To answer your questions 1. Indeed the load could be non-axisymmetric, that is the point of my work. 2. Cheese is just a funny name I gave to my part. (I'm french...) 3. We are not very into...

    How to refine an axisymmetric mesh in the contact region ?

    Here it is. That is the model I am working with (partition + tet-mesh). What I did is I partitioned edges then faces. Then I seed Edges sets. Thank you for your help. -- McFlyhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=1462d4f8-51f4-417c-8014-2920a062d264&file=plast_partition_tet.cae

    How to refine an axisymmetric mesh in the contact region ?

    yes, but CAE refuse to mesh my partition with Hex-elements using the classic mesh tool. I also tried Bottom-up mesh (Revolve) but it won't mesh probably because he can't tie each region's mesh due to the gap of density.

    How to refine an axisymmetric mesh in the contact region ?

    Thank you very much for your answers, I'd better not use different parts to avoid discontinuities but I have really been trying a lot of different options of meshing. But nothing really satisfying. There must be a way to create the smooth transitions as seen in the attached picture in my first...

    How to refine an axisymmetric mesh in the contact region ?

    Hello, I am studying sharp indentation on a quarter cylinder corner in Abaqus and I am not satisfied with my mesh, which is currently using Tet elements (with edge seeding in the corner). I would like to use bricks (Hex element) and refine the mesh in the contact region. I already tried several...
