[GiDlist] Meshing volumes with curved surfaces
Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2014 12:44 am
Hi,
I am trying to create a mesh for a volume with a curved surface. I am
having the following geometry which I created via rotating 3-point arc by
180 deg (so basically I am having 1 complete cylinder + a spherical cap
which is a small part of a sphere + rest of the body)
[image: Inline image 1]
I created this geometry by rotating the following by 180 deg about its axis-
[image: Inline image 2]
But GID fails to create a mesh, displaying an error saying faces intersect
as shown below (which I don't think they do)
[image: Inline image 3]
Is there a way to get around this to mesh curved volumes in GID? Basically
my goal is to represent a curved crack front which I am representing via
the spherical cap.
Thanks!
