- In the Global Seeds dialog box that appears, enter an approximate global element size of
0.004
, and click OK.Seeds appear on all the edges.
Note:
If you are using the Abaqus Learning Edition, using a global seed size of 0.004 results in a mesh
that exceeds the model size limits of the product. Use a global seed
size of 0.008 instead.

You are now ready to mesh the parts.
