For indentation simulation mesh attached in the image is recommended. How can i generate this kind of mesh? I tried sectioning the solid and putting 'seed' but can't get the exact pattern.
any help would be greatly appreciated
One way, maybe not efficient but should do the trick. Is to create the lines and asign the nodes to the appropriate places. So you would create the number of nodes you need in each line. Then automatic meshing should do the job.
So in principle you can create one cylinder with many many nodes on each surface and a coarse mesh for the outer body.
Its a structured octree (quadtree in 2D) mesh.
Check out the following links:

However, i would like to know how this is generated in abaqus as well.
