Controlling mesh characteristics

This section explains how you control the overall characteristics of your mesh.

• Assigning mesh controls
• Choosing an element shape
• Selecting a meshing technique
• Redefining region corners
• Setting the mesh algorithm
• Specifying the sweep path
• Sweep meshing a solid, revolved region whose profile touches the axis of revolution
• Applying a mesh stack orientation
• Changing mesh controls for previously meshed regions
• Associating Abaqus elements with mesh regions
• Changing the labels of all nodes and elements
• Adding layers of wedge elements to tetrahedral mesh boundaries
