Title: Implementing Voronoi mesh into FEAP inputfile
Post by: Mr T on February 19, 2019, 01:05:40 PM

Dear all,

I am a FEAP-beginner. I have created a Voronoi mesh with MATLAB and i am wondering how to transfer this mesh into my FEAP inputfile.
Do I have to copy every single coordinate of the nodes and the connections between them into my Inputfile? I could use the 'ELEMent' and 'NODE'  command. I have 100 Elements, so it would cost me much time.
Is there an easier alternative?

Thanks in advance

you can use matlab to write the coordinates and connectivity into a file to define the COORdinate and ELEMent blocks.
