Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: You can now copy a two-dimensional pattern of element faces onto a similar geometric face. This enhancement allows you to use a similar customized mesh on multiple faces.
Description: The Copy mesh pattern method in the Edit Mesh toolset is available for use with parts and assemblies. With this new method, you can copy a two-dimensional mesh and apply it to a target geometric face elsewhere on the same part or assembly. The pattern and target do not need to be identical; however, they must be topologically similar. For example, the target face must contain at least as many loops as the pattern.
After selecting the pattern and target, you must map several nodes from the pattern onto their desired positions on the target. Abaqus/CAE completes the mapping of nodes and copies the pattern onto the target.
