I'm planning to do dynamic analysis of boring bar (considering as a cantilever beam) in Abaqus CAE. The material type and properties, etc. have given. I'm facing difficulty while meshing the part. The part itself contains a contour so direct meshing is not possible. Now I am trying to do bottom-up meshing, but not succeeded. Kindly help me in this regard. Here I am attaching the part (Designed in Solid works and converted into required import file type)).
I suggest you split the part. Use the partitioning tools offered by ABAQUS, the end of your part has many details and you must create simple partitions easy to mesh.
As Richard suggested, it's better to divide the part into simple shapes using partition tool in the Abaqus. I can't open your file so can't suggest in a specific way though.
If the partitioning does not help, the only way is the bottom-up technique. It's not that straight forward as other methods are. You can have some idea from the following references:

Thanks
You can apply partitioning techniques to the regions in your model created by a partition in order to assign different element shapes, different mesh controls and different element types.
