Hi,

I am trying to mesh two parts (3D volumes) in abaqus, I have outer volume and inner volume, I successfully meshed the outer volume using structured mesh (quadratic elements), then I am planning to use the position of the inner nodes from the outer volume (blue nodes in the attached figure) to create a tetrahedral elements for the inner volume.

I would like to note that these are two separate parts and the blue nodes are not duplicate.

Is there a way to do this meshing technique in abaqus?

Many thanks,

Farah
