Hi,
I have a small problem in generating a mesh for a sphere in abaqus.
I
am able to create a sphere using a 3D shell geometry, but I am unable
to uniformly mesh it. All I can see is an irregular mesh with
quadrilateral elements. I wanted to use hexahedral elements for the
sphere with uniform meshing and I tried using 'create bottom - up
mesh', but of no use.

Sorry guys, I know I've done it a long time ago. Can't figure it out now. Please help.
Thanx.

why not use the 3D deformable solid geometry
Are you sure that the geometry you have created is a solid sphere what you intend to get?

partitioning
hi Bharath,
you need to partition the geometry into some regular shape if you want regularity in your mesh ( in any 2D or 3D, solid or shell geometry).

hi Binod,
I figured it out. It only took me long.
Thank you!!

Wait! What did you do?
bharathkoya, you said you figured it out. What method/approach did you use? Did you use Binod's suggestion, or did you do something else?

Hi Prost, I tried
Hi Prost,
I tried creating a sphere with shell geometry and meshing it with hex elements. But for my problem, using hex elements is not completely necessary but I need a uniform mesh for the sphere.
So, I created a sphere with shell revolution geometry and in the mesh controls I used the option "sweep" to get a uniform mesh with quad elements.
Good Luck!
