Hi all,
i'm a beginner in abaqus ,i nned to know if it's better to mesh after the load
or to make the load and to mesh .
If there's a difference between the two methods ?




I'm waiting for your anwsers


Thank for you all

Hi Sanaa,


If I got ur question right is that meshing is related with load assignment or not? From what I know , mesh has nothing to do with assigning load. You either mesh the part or mesh the instance. Preferable to do the meshing for each part separately.

I typically mesh first then apply loads. Part of the reasoning is with the amount of partitioning I do sometimes to brick mesh, it can affect the set that I’ve chosen to apply a load or boundary condition. Of course, sometimes I end up re-meshing because I end up needing to partition a face to apply a boundary condition, load, or interaction after I’ve meshed the part as well.

It is more proper to make orphan mesh and apply loads and BCs on nodes
instead of geometries.

I disagree. If you're using Abaqus/CAE the loads and boundary
conditions should be applied to the solid geometry. Abaqus/CAE will
automatically map the values to the associated nodes and elements when
generating the input file. The loads and boundary conditions are
therefore independent of the mesh, and you're free to change the mesh at
any time with having to redefine everything else. It should make no
difference whether you generate your mesh before or after applying the
loads and boundary conditions.

It is always better to apply boundary conditions before meshing otherwise,
everytime you create a partition you will have to re-apply the loads..which

is really annoying.
