[GiDlist] Fwd: Meshing curved volumes: Mesh conforms with th

Post by amit Dhankhar »

Thank you for your help Enrique. I notice that when I'm meshing this
volume, mesh always aligns with the 'line' that was rotated to create the
volume. For example, this volume - (created by rotating the arc by 180 deg
twice)-

[image: Inline image 1][image: Inline image 2]

Here's the mesh for the same (default unstructured mesh)-

[image: Inline image 3]
The mesh 'aligns' with the line that separates the two curved surfaces. Is
there a way for the GID mesher to mesh more freely without any constraints?

Thanks!
Amit

I created the same shape, but dividing the curve and deleting half part,
and rotating 360º.



If fact it will be less problematic creating two surfaces not closed (with
a rotation of 180º and multiple copies=2 in the copy window)



And the lower plane will be less problematic creating a planar surface by
its boundary, avoiding the creation by rotation



(the poles of a surface of rotation are problematic, because this
degenerated points have zero derivative in one parametric direction)

Hi Enrique,

Would you suggest trying out some other version for GID for the meshing
issue of the curved geometry I created?

Thanks!

Hi,

I tried the repair geometry option which just says "everything was ok" but
fails to mesh. I created my volume by rotating a 2-d curved surface about
its own axis. (which retains the original 2-d surface and creates extra
points and lines which I have to collapse later)

I have attached a zip file containing the simple model -
"nov13_curvedvol_original.gid" - volume created by the rotation which GID
fails to mesh. Could you tell me what else could be wrong in this one? I am
running 12.1.1d version of GID.

In another attempt, "nov13_curvedvol_mod.gid" - I wanted to get rid of
extra surfaces, lines and points so I deleted the original 2-d surface and
the extra lines and tried reconstructing the volume which gives out an
error. This file just has the curved surface and it's base surface (which
ideally should represent a bounded domain)

Thanks

If it continue without mesh trying a reasonable mesh size then attach a
zip with your model to have a look

Hi,

I am trying to mesh a simple geometry of the form of a spherical cap (
created by rotating an arc about its axis) but GID shows up some meshing
error. Creating spherical caps from boolean operations don't work either.

Here's how my geometry looks like-

[image: Inline image 1]



It was created by rotating this surface around it own axis (bounded by an
arc and a line)-

[image: Inline image 2]


As we can see, it shows up error saying 'two faces intersect'. Is there
any other way to mesh such volumes?

Thanks,

Amit

Post by escolano »

You can use the ‘Rjump’ mesher for surfaces (Utilities-Preferences – Meshing)

This allow GiD to jump the curves between surfaces if there are smooth enough.



It is possible to set this ‘global surface mesher’ variable, or set the ‘jump’ meshing information only for some selected curves
