Femap V9.0 Meshing issues
Femap V9.0 Meshing issues
(OP)
Hello All,
I use Femap for meshing in connection with a casting solidification simulation software that I am evaluating for my foundry.
Problem is:
1) A casting consists of the part (fine mesh) attached to the runner (coarse mesh). How to create a mesh of elements in different sizes in one part?
2) The mould (sand) surrounding the casting is large compared to the casting, hence large elements should be used away from the casting surface, but the elements in the mould bording the casting should match the nodes/elements of the casting. How?
Comments appreciated!
Regards
John

starting to know V9.0 a little better. I want to thank everybody for their help. It helped me along and I`ve sorted the meshing problems now!
Again, thanks!
