3.10 Associating geometric faces created from an orphan mesh with the mesh

Product: Abaqus/CAE

Benefits: When you create a geometric face from orphan element faces in a part, Abaqus/CAE now associates the new face with the mesh by default.

Description: You can use the Geometry Edit toolset to create geometry from the faces of orphan mesh elements. By default, the new geometric face is associated with the mesh; you have the option to change this behavior, as shown in Figure 3–1.
