This section explains basic concepts and terminology related to meshes and mesh generation.
Generating a mesh Preserving the precision of nodal coordinates Determining which regions are meshable What should I do if a region fails to mesh? What is a mesh transition? What is the difference between the medial axis algorithm and the advancing front algorithm? What kinds of meshes cannot be generated automatically? When will Abaqus/CAE delete a mesh? Do I have to mesh the entire model in one operation? Can I change the geometric order of the elements in a mesh?
