Mesh Generation

The mesh to be used in this example will be generated by defining a structured mesh of hexahedral elements in the left hand side box and and unstructured tetrahedral mesh in the right hand side box. The structured mesh can be generated by using the menu option Mesh>Structured>Volume and selecting the corresponding volume. The number of cells will be 15 for all the lines of this volume.

Before to generate the mesh, set to None the option 'Automatic correct sizes' in the Meshing page of the Preferences window (Utilities> Preferences). Finally, the mesh can be generated with a Maximum Element Size of 0.05. The resulting mesh is shown in Figure 83.
