12.4 Updated minimum size control for global mesh seeds

Product: Abaqus/CAE  

Benefits: You can now control the minimum element seeding size and curvature control separately, and there are now two options for setting the minimum size.

Description: The default minimum global seed size is the same as in previous releases, 0.1 (10 %), set as a fraction of the global size. You can set the minimum size as a fraction of the global size, or you can specify an actual value for the minimum size as shown in Figure 12–6. As shown in the figure, the curvature control option used to refine global seeding around holes and other areas of significant curvature is now separated from the minimum size control.
