Note:
You must use the Mesh Controls dialog box to assign the bottom-up meshing technique to a region. Abaqus/CAE does not automatically assign the bottom-up meshing technique and will not indicate whether a region that is assigned the bottom-up technique can also be meshed using a top-down technique. (For more information, see Assigning mesh controls.) You can change the applicable meshing techniques by partitioning the region into smaller regions with simpler topology, by changing the element shape assigned to the region, or by using the Virtual Topology toolset. |
