Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: You can now project mesh edges or nodes onto a sketch when you add features to a mesh part. This enhancement improves the sketching capabilities when you make changes to a mesh part.
Description: When you sketch the profile for a feature that you are adding to a mesh part, Abaqus/CAE now enables you to project mesh edges and nodes onto the sketch sheet. The improved algorithm for projecting mesh edges or nodes also allows you to project nodes and element edges as references.
Projected mesh edges are not constrained to the background because the mesh is transient. If you modify or delete the mesh, the sketch does not regenerate after remeshing.
