[GiDlist] Quadratic mesh problem solved

Post by Andrea Calaon »

Hi everyone,
I found why the surface meshing was giving me problems:
Rfast doesn't mesh curved quadratical elements with curved sides, while Rsurf is ok.
In case of triangles everything is fine.
Is this a bug?

kind regards

All my tests with GiD 7.4.9b for Widows works ok for quadratic triangles and
quadrilaterals. With all meshers.

Do you get quadrilaterals with curved sides using Rfast?
My problem is that using Rfast the sides of quadrilaterals on curved surface boundaries
are linear and not quadratic. Triangles are fine (have curved sides).
I mesh only surfaces surrounging volumes, which on the other hand don't get meshed.
