I'm using ImportMesh in FEMAddOns package. When I imported the following mesh created in Abaqus

enter image description here

the following warning occurred:

ToElementMesh::femimq: The element mesh has insufficient quality of 0.`. A quality estimate below 0. may be caused by a wrong ordering of element incidents or self-intersecting elements.

Did I do something wrong?

  • $\begingroup$ Then you should simplify your mesh to create a minimal example that reproduces the issue. $\endgroup$

This is more of an issue of ImportMesh than anything else. In principal it could collapse elements. But you can do this yourself:

Needs["FEMAddOns`"]
mesh = ImportMesh["test.inp"]

ToElementMesh::femimq: The element mesh has insufficient quality of 0.`. A quality estimate below 0. may be caused by a wrong ordering of element incidents or self-intersecting elements.

Now, we reconstruct the mesh with collapsed elements:

{tri, quad} = 
  SplitBy[SortBy[
    DeleteDuplicates /@ 
     Join @@ ElementIncidents[mesh["MeshElements"]], Length], 
   Length];
mesh2 = ToElementMesh["Coordinates" -> mesh["Coordinates"], 
   "MeshElements" -> {TriangleElement[tri], QuadElement[quad]}];
mesh2["Wireframe"]

enter image description here

This currently does not take care of the markers but that's not impossible to do either.

The underlying issue is essentially the same as indicated in user21's answer under your previous question. The last 12 elements in your mesh have made use of 2nd node for multiple times, thus their qualities are 0:

Needs["FEMAddOns`"]

mesh = ImportMesh@(* file path *)

(* ToElementMesh::femimq *)

mesh@"Quality"
(*
 …… 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.}}
 *)

mesh["MeshElements"][[1, 1, -12 ;;]]
(* {{1,  9,  2,  2,  68, 69, 2,  70}, {2,  2,  9,  10, 2,  69, 71, 72}, 
    {11, 2,  2,  10, 73, 2,  72, 74}, {11, 12, 2,  2,  75, 76, 2,  73}, 
    {2,  2,  12, 13, 2,  76, 77, 78}, {14, 2,  2,  13, 79, 2,  78, 80}, 
    {14, 15, 2,  2,  81, 82, 2,  79}, {2,  2,  15, 16, 2,  82, 83, 84}, 
    {17, 2,  2,  16, 85, 2,  84, 86}, {17, 18, 2,  2,  87, 88, 2,  85}, 
    {2,  2,  18, 19, 2,  88, 89, 90}, {1,  2,  2,  19, 70, 2,  90, 91}} *)

I know nothing about Abaqus and don't know if this mesh is legal therein, but it's not allowed in Mathematica, at least now:

With[{u = u[x, y]}, 
 NDSolveValue[{-Laplacian[u, {x, y}] == 1, DirichletCondition[u == 0, True]}, 
  u, {x, y} ∈ mesh]]

(* ElementMeshInterpolation::fememtlq *)
(* Unevaluated ElementMeshInterpolation[…] returned. *)

wrongindex = {1, 2, 2, 19, 70, 2, 90, 91};

wrongcoord = mesh["Coordinates"][[wrongindex]]

ToElementMesh["Coordinates" -> wrongcoord, "MeshElements" -> {QuadElement@{wrongindex}}]

(* ToElementMesh::fembdel *)    
(* ToElementMesh::femtemnm: A mesh could not be generated. *)
(* $Failed *)

Anyway, for this specific problem, it's easy to repair the mesh, all we need to do is to remove the duplicate nodes and use TriangleElement to rebuild these elements:

{trindex, quadindex} = 
 GatherBy[DeleteDuplicates /@ mesh["MeshElements"][[1, 1]] // Sort, Length]

repairedmesh = 
 ToElementMesh["Coordinates" -> mesh["Coordinates"], 
  "MeshElements" -> {QuadElement@quadindex, TriangleElement@trindex}]
