Is there any possibiity to control consistent squence of pattern of element connectivity from the ABQUS mesh ?

11 November 2018 0 6K Report

Dear all,

I tried to reconstruct the consistent sequence pattern of element connectivity (in order to use one type element formulation for all the elements) for the extracted mesh details from ABAQUS . This was done by using some algorithm like Graham's scan but it failed when the element polar angle from centroid is greater than plus or min -160 degree and is very difficult to be fixed for some case (very skewed element) as well.

I request you to all please let me know how to obtain the consistent sequence pattern of element connectivity in all extracted ABAQUS mesh.

P.S: How can we see the local element orientation in ABAQUS ?

Thank you all in advances
