Goals Use the model manager to create a copy of the model Partition the hinge to obtain hex-meshable domains Assign an element type Create mesh seeds Create a mesh using hexahedral elements Create a tetrahedral element mesh using the free meshing technique Introduction The Mesh module allows you to generate finite element meshes on assemblies. The process of meshing the model, like creating parts and assemblies, is feature based; therefore, you can modify the parameters that define a part or an assembly, and the mesh attributes that you specified within the Mesh module are regenerated automatically. In this workshop you will mesh the part instances that you defined earlier. Creating a finite element mesh usually involves: Partitioning the assembly to ensure that the assembly can be meshed Assigning mesh attributes to the part instances Seeding the part instances Meshing the assembly Note: The replay file, CAE/Workshops/Hinge-StepIntBc.py, can be used to generate the prerequisite model definitions for this workshop. In the event that you were unable to complete the previous workshop successfully, you accidentally deleted your model database file, etc., do the following: copy the file into a local directory, start ABAQUS/CAE, and run the script by selecting File→Run Script. Then proceed with the rest of the workshop. Creating a copy of the model Two different types of meshes will be created in this workshop, each using a different copy of the model. To create a copy of the model: Start ABAQUS/CAE, and open the database created in Workshop 5a. In the Module list located under the tool bar, select Mesh to enter the Mesh module. Select Model→Manager. Select Copy Model, and name the model Model-2. Notice that after the copy is created, the name of the model in the pull down menu under the toolbar changes to Model-2. Click Dismiss on the Model manager. Using the model list under the toolbar, change the model to Model-1. Model-1 will be meshed with hexahedral elements, whil
