Hello, this is my first post here. I am new to Abaqus (using it for my research).
I have a very simple model with C3D10 element. There are 4 "main" nodes for the element, say 1,2,3,4. If I reorder the nodes as 1,2,4,3, shouldn't I get the same result? However, Abaqus is complaining when I give it 1,2,3,4; but accepts when I give it 1,2,4,3.
More details: I am posting the problematic line from the *Elements section:
This is right:
001266, 000528, 000527, 000061, 000062, 003354, 001988, 001989, 001311, 001310, 000845
This is wrong:
001266, 000528, 000527, 000062, 000061, 003354, 001310, 001311, 001989, 001988, 000845
Error message:
Distorted tetrahedral elements
Element Quality measure Min angle Max angle Adjusted nodes
--------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------
1266 0.0170746 10.9505 138.248 NO
Any help will be much appreciated.
