Abaqus: write surface mesh element detail

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on generating a surface mesh detail in Abaqus for a wing model that uses a hexahedral mesh. The user seeks assistance in creating a file that lists each element number alongside its four neighboring nodes, formatted as "element number, node1 node2 node3 node4." Despite creating node and element sets, the output file only includes the node and element numbers without the neighboring information. The user has attached a sample file for reference. The goal is to extract detailed surface mesh information from the hexahedral mesh.

Hi,

i need some help in writing the surface mesh in abaqus. i have a wing model, meshed using hexahedral mesh. now what i want is to write the surface element detail on a file, containing the element number and its neighbouring four nodes. for example

12, 2 3 5 6

here 12 is the element number and 2,3,5 & 6 are the corresponding nodes.

what i have tried uptill now is i have created the node / element set. but when i write these set on a file (.inp) i get only the node / element number not the neighbouring information.
so what i need is surface mesh detail form a hexahedral mesh.

** A sample file is attached of what i have created.

regards

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
