Remeshing when using Abaqus

Submitted by RenegadeMaster on

Hi

I am modelling a contact problem using Abaqus and I am trying to use remeshing hoping to get more accurate results in critical locations. But I encounter following error:" the area of 7 elements is zero, small or negative". Despite of the definitions of the remeshing rules always the error message appears when size of elements  is quite a small. My goal is to get minimum element size 1E-7m in critical location. The error message appears much before that goal. I am very grateful if someone could help.
