MESHING GENERATE [Part]

              

The MESHING GENERATE command is used for the automatic generation of a finite element mesh. The mesh may be generated on a specified part of the model or on the whole model.

Part Comments

ALL Generate mesh on the whole model (default).

Part_name Generate mesh on the named part where this is the name of a line, surface, body, or set.

Nodes and elements are generated and numbered by the program.

If any part of the existing geometry is altered then all of the existing mesh is cancelled. Only elements or nodes that have been generated manually before any MESH GENERATE command will be kept.

Note, however, that new geometric parts can be created without the existing mesh being cancelled.

Note also that if a part has been `locked' (see the MESHING OPTIONS LOCK command), it is not possible to alter the geometry of the part.

Examples:

1.

MESHING GENERATE

The whole model is meshed.

2.

MESHING GENERATE SUR3

The part (surface) named `SUR3' only is meshed.
