6.4 Dissimilar mesh support for Abaqus/Standard to Abaqus/Explicit co-simulation

Products: Abaqus/Standard Abaqus/Explicit Abaqus/CAE

Benefits: You can define a co-simulation interaction between regions of Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit models that have dissimilar meshes.

Description: In Abaqus 6.9 you were required to provide Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit meshes that matched on their shared co-simulation region interfaces. This restriction no longer applies.
