MeshingForMechanicalOptim.PFM

Description

The goal is to control and generate meshes adapted to Topology Optimization problems.

The macro can be executed by simply selecting the faces for optimization. The macro will set an inactive relaxation on these faces and disable relaxation on the lines of these faces. It allows also remeshing some additional faces proposed by the user (optional) to obtain a regular mesh. It will set a medium relaxation on these faces and set inactive relaxation on the lines of these faces. The mesh size is controlled by creating a mesh point with a default value of 0.5 mm (which can be modified by the user)

.
Note: For more details about this macro, consult this additional document

Input

  • Selected faces for optimization
  • Mesh size of these faces
  • Other faces for a regular mesh (optional)

Output

  • A new generated mesh
