Mesher Quality: RSurf vs RFast
Posted: Mon May 25, 2015 4:54 pm
Hi,
I am trying to create a nearly uniform meshes for a geometry that contains a curved edge (planar surface though). I used both RSurf and RFast meshers, and RFast seems to give me elements with bad aspect ratio. Is there a tcl command or some other way to export the aspect ratios for each element created by GID?
Also, automatic size correction seems to refine my mesh around the curved portion, so I turned it off since I do not require refinement. But this seems to produce distorted elements as well.
Thanks,
Amit
