How not to mesh ?

Image
 Hey guys, I know this is too late but today we are going to discuss how we did not mesh to our FEA geometry to get successful results. So without wasting time let's get into it. 1) Back-to-back triangle should be avoided. Two tria elements should not be connected to each other directly. You can see this in this image. 2) On the plane surface triangular elements should be avoided. The recommended mesh is shown in the figure. 3) No mesh transition on the constant radius fillets/curvatures. Mesh transition should be carried out on the plane surface. As you can see in the figure this should not be recommended. 4) Avoid tri element on the outer edges and holes. It can cause the wrong results. 5) Some useful and recommended points that are not respectable at the professional level. This is shown in the following figure. 6) Circular hole should be molded carefully with a washer it means fine meshing at the circle. And minimum 2 layers around the hole. 7) Holes should be molded with an ev...

Quality Checks (PART II)

 Hey guys, As related to the previous part we are going ahead with the quality check as we are discussing How to improve the quality of poor elements? For this, I have search too much and spend too much time but I found very few points. But these points really get into work for everyone. This blog post is going to be small but worth in knowledge, So let's take a look at which points are those. 1. Manual Adjustment: Let's talk about the oldest technique which is only there a few years ago which is. This method consists of manually translating the nodes in today's software we can't just manually translate the nodes we have to remesh it. So we can directly remesh the part where the mesh quality is poor. This method is time-consuming 2. Auto quality improvement program: As its name suggest that all work is done by the special programs. Just we have to give the body for the program, the program automatically meshes the body to improve the quality. A special software program ...

TYPES OF SHELL MESHING AND ELEMENT OPTIONS

 Hey guys, Hope you are doing well, in today's topic we are going to discuss the shell meshing and its types and some important question that you will get after, we have talked about so many sections. So let's start with what is shell meshing? and how it works. shell meshing is nothing but simple meshing which includes 2-D mesh on the surface which is either quilt or on the mid surface or at the boundary. In this type of meshing, the software generates the 2-D mesh of quad or triangular elements, which has a low thickness value.  The shell elements consist of three methods: 1. Midsurface: This method generates the mesh at the mid surface of the geometry and this method is preferred for the thin-walled surface. 2. Shell:   Applies a triangular or quadrilateral shell mesh to quilt surfaces. 3. Boundary:  Directly apply the mesh to the surface of geometry and the interior of geometry has no mesh. Different type of elements for shell meshing: 1.Pure quad element 2.Mixed ...

TYPES OF MESHING

 Hey guys, Today we are going to talk about meshing, I know another meshing one blog yes... I know we already discuss some meshing concept but today we are exploring it a bit more... so let's start  We know why we carry out meshing and what its advantages also we had discussed about the DOF and nodes, elements blah blah... if you don't read it I am providing the link here check it out https://understandingfea.blogspot.com/2020/10/meshing-fem-and-types-of-elements.html So the basic purpose to carry out is to make calculations at finite points. We know that we have to carry out meshing for the various geometries and geometry can be different and complex.                     Then what to do in such cases, Lets explore it we know that our FEA problem which we are solving is needed to be easy and not very much complex and, if you have a complex problem then we need to identify how can we simplify it... We can simplify the ...
