mesh input by block command
« on: May 18, 2016, 02:17:48 AM »
Dear FEAPers,

I have a question on the mesh generation tool provided by feap. Is it possible to generate a structural mesh for the bo below using BLOCK command?
There are two materials in this structure.
The total mesh size is 100*100, and the red ones and the blue one share the nodes at the interface.


Thanks

You can do it, but you need first to divide the region into quadrilateral blocks to joint the corners.  That will take several patches to do it.  Once you have that you merely divide the blocks into the refinement you want ensuring that divisions match along adjacent edges.  Then use TIE to merge the blocks.  It will be a bit tedious but can be done.
