This task shows you how to re-mesh domains using the frontal quadrangle mesh method.
-
Open the Sample06.CATAnalysis document from the samples directory.
-
Enter the Surface Mesher workshop.
For more details, refer to Entering the Surface Mesher Workshop.
-
Click Frontal Quadrangle Mesh Method
in the Local Specifications toolbar.The Frontal Quadrangle Mesh dialog box appears.
- Support: lets you select the domain you want to re-mesh using the frontal quadrangle mesh method.
- Impact neighbor domains: lets you define whether you wish to apply the new mesh method to the neighboring domains. If the option is deactivated, the nodes on domain edges will not be modified.
- Mesh size: lets you specify the size of the frontal quadrangle mesh.
-
Select the Support.
In this particular example, select the following domain:
-
Clear the Impact neighbor domains check box.
-
Enter the value of Mesh Size.
In this particular example, enter 10mm as Mesh size value.
-
Click OK.
A Mesh Specifications.1 set containing the Frontal Quadrangle Mesh.1 specification appears in the specification tree under the Surface Mesh.1 mesh part.
The domain is meshed using the frontal quadrangle mesh method:
