13.4 New tetrahedral meshing algorithm

Product: ABAQUS/CAE  

Benefits: The robustness of tetrahedral meshes is improved.

Description: A new algorithm for generating a tetrahedral mesh of a solid region using free meshing has been introduced. In most cases the new algorithm is more robust, particularly when meshing complex shapes and thin solids. In addition, the default algorithm allows you to increase the size of the interior elements. If the mesh density is adequate for the model being analyzed and the areas of interest are on the mesh boundary, increasing the size of the interior elements will increase the computational efficiency.
