12.7 Analysis checks for shell elements supported

Product: ABAQUS/CAE  

Benefits: You can improve the quality of your mesh by detecting shell elements that fail the element quality checks that are included with the input file processor in ABAQUS/Standard or ABAQUS/Explicit.

Description: ABAQUS/CAE provides a set of tools in the Mesh module that allow you to verify the quality of your mesh and to obtain information about the nodes and elements in the mesh. You can use the Analysis checks to verify that the elements in your mesh will pass the element quality checks that are included with the input file processor in ABAQUS/Standard or ABAQUS/Explicit. ABAQUS/CAE highlights any elements that fail the mesh quality tests and displays the number of elements tested along with the number of errors and warnings in the message area. These mesh quality tests now support first- and second-order shell elements.
