Abaqus/CAE: Geometry Import and Meshing
Real-world engineering commonly involves the analysis and design of complicated geometry.
OVERVIEW

CLASSROOM LENGTH:
2 days
- INSTRUCTOR-LED ONLINE LENGTH: 4 days
PREREQUISITES:
This course is recommended for users with a basic knowledge of Abaqus/CAE who wish to become more proficient with the product.
DESCRIPTION:
Real-world engineering commonly involves the analysis and design of complicated geometry. These types of analysis depend critically on having a modeling tool with a robust geometry import capability in conjunction with advanced, easy-to-use mesh generation algorithms.
This course provides an in-depth look at several advanced Abaqus/CAE capabilities: CAD geometry import and repair, meshing and partitioning of complicated geometry. Both native and neutral geometry formats are discussed. An in-depth treatment of meshing techniques is also provided, including the use of virtual topology to ease the meshing of complicated geometry in the presence of small geometric features.
LESSON PLAN
Lesson 1:
Geometry Import and Repair
- Learn how to import a part into Abaqus/CAE, query the part to identify any small features, carry out diagnostics, and use the geometry edit tools available in Abaqus/CAE to repair, defeature, and validate the part.
Lesson 2:
Orphan and Native Meshes
- Understand the basics of orphan and native meshes, basics of dependent and independent part instances, learn how to generate mesh, use mesh editing tools and virtual topology tools to improve the mesh quality.
Lesson 3:
Meshing and Partitioning
- Learn how to use different meshing techniques, control mesh density, assign element types and geometric order, partition the geometry to generate mixed mesh domains, verify the mesh quality, and understand how to work with mass and mesh queries.
Lesson 4:
Bottom-Up Meshing
- Understand the difference between default “Top-down” and user-controlled “Bottom-Up” mesh techniques and learn how to fill the geometric regions with incremental meshing with the help of “Bottom-Up” meshing technique.
