Mapped meshing of Two Rectangular Plates Connected by Fillet

Mapped meshing of Two Rectangular Plates Connected by Fillet

(OP)
I want to do mapped meshing of two retangular plated conneceted by fillet. I am using soild95 element. I always get the error "invalid topology for mapped brick meshing". Can anyone solve my problem.

Thanks
 

RE: Mapped meshing of Two Rectangular Plates Connected by Fillet

First of all, make sure the geometry is suitable for mapped meshing (see the help file on this). This meshing will probably be suitable for the two plates - if they are of a "regular" geometric shape such as a square or rectangle - but not the fillet. Map mesh the two plates first and then free mesh the fillet. Remember to change the degenerate hex elements created at the interface to non-degenerate tets using the TCHG,ELEM1,ELEM2,ETYPE2 command.

Cheers,

1) Try slicing your model, in order to obtain geometry that's suitable for mappep meshing.

2) Try sweeping.
