| allows the analyst to mesh the geometry at a level of detail that sufficiently captures the design intent relevant to a particular FE analysis. A key concept is that the CAE-driven modifications, either idealized or abstraction, do not change the original design geometry and are completely associated, allowing the user to accept modification to the design geometry without the need to rebuild the FE modeling intent. Meshing Powerful abstraction and meshing technology allows a user to free mesh any 2D or 3D solid or sheet body or ID type elements, curves or edges. Free meshing capabilities include: • Automatic meshing of surfaces and of volumes, with no topology restrictions • 3D tetrahedral • 3D swept mesh • 2D mesh • 2D mapped meshing available with 2D free meshing • Sweep meshing "paver" • 2D meshing boundary • 2D dependent boundary • ID mesh • Beam • Rigid • Spring • Gap • Damper • Transition meshing from fine to coarse for 2D and 3D free meshing • User controlled automatic abstraction during meshing • Surface meshing with linear or parabolic quadrilaterals, triangles or quadrilateral dominant meshes that insert triangles in a quadrilateral mesh to automatically reduce element distortions • Solid meshing with linear, parabolic tetrahedral elements • Ability to define allowable distortion for tetrahedral elements before meshing • Local element control for precise mesh generations • Number of elements on edge • Chordal tolerance • Geometric progression • Geometry-based definition and generation of lumped masses, rigid bars, spring, gap and damper elements • Association of mesh generation settings with geometric features (updates occur with design geometry changes) Element library A complete library of finite elements lets you perform many types of analysis and modeling quickly and efficiently. More than 125 standard element types are provided, including linear and parabolic forms of shells and solids, axisymmetric shells and solids, beams, rods, springs, dampers, masses, rigid links and gaps. Scalars and other special elements have unique graphic symbols. P-elements (solid tetrahedra) are supported for linear structural analysis. | ||||||||
