Hi,

I am new to the forum. I do hope I will get help.

I am uisng ABAQUS 6.7/Standard to simulate gear pairs (only static). At
a moment I am only taking 2D, so I am using plane strain with quad
elements. My problem is how to chnage the mesh refinment with respect
to the gears postion, specially on the contact area? 

Thank you in advance for any help
