The Mesh module

The Mesh module contains tools that allow you to generate meshes on parts and assemblies created within Abaqus/CAE. In addition, the Mesh module contains functions that verify an existing mesh.

For information on editing orphan nodes and elements, see What can I do with the Edit Mesh toolset?.
