Meshing strategies and mesh editing techniques

This section describes strategies for improving your mesh using the Edit Mesh toolset and techniques that you can use to create the desired mesh.

• A strategy for improving the mesh
• Using offset meshes in Abaqus/CAE
• Reducing element distortion and collapse during mesh offsetting
• Allowing for branching in offset solid meshes
• Creating a mid-plane shell mesh from a thin solid model
• Using a combination of tools to mesh an imported solid part with tetrahedral elements
