ABAQUS, Partitioning a Shaft with a Keyway

[sheeeshamk]

Hello People,

How would u partition a shaft like the one in the Picture ? I cant get it to work properly for the Simulation. (I am using ABAQUS 2021)

Thanks in adavance

Just a little Update. Thats how far i can get it to work, but the Cells at the round Part of the Keyway always stay orange.
It works fully with tet-elements, but i would prefer the hex ones if thats possible

Yes, it seems that you missed some cells:

are any partitions in ur model, that are not visable in the image ? Maybe u could show it as a sectional view (cut through the middle).

Here’s what it looks like inside:
