Hi

I am trying to analyse a notched beam with dynamic loading. I am trying to model 1 quarter of the beam. While trying to mesh in Abaqus it gives me the error that this part cannot be meshed using the assigned elements. I tried partitioning the flat surface near the curved surface, even after this I am unable to partition the model. Could someone help me with this?
