Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: You can now upgrade a model database and unlock one of its native parts without losing the mesh associated with that native part. These meshes were previously deleted upon unlocking of the native part.
Description: When you upgrade a model database and unlock one of its native parts, Abaqus/CAE associates the mesh data for that part with the part's regenerated geometry. This behavior is consistent with the behavior of independent part instances, which retained their mesh data upon upgrade and unlocking in previous releases.
