Post by ysliu »

In the Trelis, adaptive quadrilateral elements are allowed. How can we mesh a geometry with adaptive quadrilateral meshes?

Simply set the type of element of the desired surfaces to 'quadrilateral'
Mesh->Element type->Quadrilateral, and select the surfaces.
A unstructured mesh will be generated, similar to the triangular meshes
you can assign specific mesh sizes to some entities, set the value for the transition size factor of preferences,....
