How to use tie constraints in Abaqus to merge dissimilar meshes?

02 February 2020 1 8K Report

Hello,

I am doing a metal forming simulation in Abaqus, and I want to create a mesh similar to the one in the attached image. Particularly, on the "Blank" part, where there is a dissimilar mesh transition, going from fine to coarse.

I heard that if I use TIE constraints then this will work. But it is not clear to me how to do this?

How could I use TIE constrains in Abaqus to create and merge dissimilar regions of mesh density within a part?

Many thanks!
