Auto Mesh: Face |
|||
|
|
|
|
Function |
Auto Mesh - Face automatically generates meshes on selected faces (Shell, Face). |

|
|
|
|
Call |
Mesh > Auto Mesh > Face |

|
|
|
|
<Auto-Mesh Face> |
Select Face(s) Select
Faces (Shell, Face), wich will be
automatically meshed. Mesh Size
Element Size Specify
the element size. Specify
the number of divisions at the boundary edges of the shapes for a meshing
operation. Automatically increases the polynomial order so that the mesh can adjust to the needs of the system.
Align Edge Seed Near Inner Loop Improves the mesh quality, if an inner loop (hole) exists near the outer loop (boundary) of the face, edge seeding of the inner loop will align the edge seed near the inner loop with the outer loop edge. Manual Division Once the seeding of edges is displayed, edges can be selected and the mesh division can be manually changed by the use of the mouse wheel.
<Advanced Option>
Mesher Select
mesh generation algorithm and element type.
Generate Offset Element Construct
meshes at the boundaries of the selected faces first, and then expand
the meshes inward. This command may be applicable
for generating quadrilateral meshes using the Loop Mesher or the Grid
Mesher.
Post Remesh can be set before automeshing. When selected, it improves poor quality mesh from auto meshing. The existing mesh is deleted when the surface is remeshed

<Instruction>
1. Select face(s) to generate Mesh (if the shape is Shell, change Selection Filter to Shell). 2. Choose a meshing algorithm (Refer to Meshing Algorithm) Above example has meshed with Loop Mesher. 3. Make sure sizing method is in Element Size (Refer to Size Control>On Face ). 4. Enter 1 in Mesh Size. 5. Click button to assign Attribute to the face(s) . 6. Click [OK] button.
Note 1. Above example has been seeded before meshing (Size Control>Along Edge ). As shown, it resulted in different element size on Face. 2. To match nodal connectivity between faces, it is better to sew all Faces into a Shell. |
