Layer Control

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifThis tool creates several layers of mesh around holes (circular closed shapes)  to obtain more accurate stress concentration result.

 

Methodology

 

 

Select the target surface where circular shape is present and edges from circular shape (closed edges domain) .

 

Number of Layers

Specify the number of layers to be offset (minimum value 1).

 

Total Layer Height

Specifies the height of the total number of boundary layers.

.

Layer Growth Rate

Proportionally adjusts the height value as the layer advances  when the number of boundary layers is 2 or more.

 

Ex)

 When 1 is input, it is represented by the same height.

 If it is larger than 1, it becomes larger.

 If it is smaller than 1 a layer is created with increasingly smaller heights.
