10/1/2004 July 30, 1999 Mesh Editing Mesh Editing To diagnose and fix any problems and improve mesh quality To convert element types Refine and/or coarsen mesh Manual and automatic tools For imported as well as internally created mesh Process First, check mesh for any problems Holes, gaps, overlapping elements? Run diagnostic checks If any, display the problem elements Group into subsets or use color coded display Fix them! Auto repair methods Manual methods Check quality Some bad quality elements? What criteria? Display them or all for different criteria Smooth Automatic Globally Locally Still bad quality? Create subsets or highlight them Fix Re-smooth Checking the Mesh To diagnose mesh associativity problems Errors – most likely to cause problems in: Solver translation Solver input Solution convergence/run Possible Problems – “Unclean surface mesh” Unwanted elements Unwanted holes/gaps May result in incorrect solution Can check any combination of errors/possible problems at any one time Individually select Click on Error or Possible Problems tabs will select all options in column – selecting again will de-select all Set Defaults will select most commonly seen/detrimental diagnostics Check Mode Create Subsets – creates a subset of elements that fit each criteria Check/Fix Each – offers automatic fixing of indicated problem Checking the Mesh: Mesh Errors Duplicate Elements Elements that share all nodes with other elements of the same type Uncovered Faces Volumetric element faces that are neither attached to the face of another volumetric element nor to a surface element (boundary face) Missing Internal Faces Volumetric elements that are adjacent to another of a different part with no surface element between them Periodic Problems Inconsistency in the number of nodes/faces between periodic sides Special check for rotating (sector) or translational periodic grids Checking the Mesh: Possible Problems Multiple Edges Surface elements with an edge that shares thre
