Hi
Does anyone know how to create User Element Mesh using abaqus/cae. In order to see the result one needs to create a dummy mesh to trick abaqus in order to use visulization to view the result of UEL element. I know how to create uel mesh manual for the input, but i don't know if abaqus/cae supports that.

However, I found that I can use interaction option and actuator/sensor to define my own element in that mesh, but it allows me to select only a point instead of the whole element set. I don't know if anyone has better solution to create uel mesh associated with dummy mesh.
