Two Ways to Get Geometry From an Orphan Mesh in Abaqus
Abaqus offers tools to create geometry based on a mesh. Here I discuss two options: using the mesh-to-geometry plug-in and using the built-in tools.

Why It's Good to Understand What Your FE-Solver Is Doing
In this blog Christine Obbink-Huizer explores a customer support question problem discussing why it is good to understand what your FE solver is doing (and how you can become more knowledgeable as well!).

Axisymmetric Analysis: Abstraction Shapes and FEM Reps
In Abaqus there is a direct relationship between geometry and the final meshed shape: if we want to defeature or do an axisymmetric analysis, the geometry needs to be modified. On the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, this is not the case. The geometry can remain unchanged. Discover more in the latest blog from Christine Obbink-Huizer.
