You can use manual adaptive remeshing to do the following:
To learn about the impact of various size function and error indicator output variables on the mesh generated by ABAQUS/CAE.
If your analysis is expected to take a long time, you can close the ABAQUS/CAE session and make the license tokens available for another user or for a new session. However, to continue the adaptive process, you must read the output database generated by the analysis and manually remesh the model.
If the analysis ended prematurely (for example, because of insufficient memory), you can use manual remeshing to continue the adaptivity process.
