meshing "mapped"

meshing "mapped"

meshing "mapped"

(OP)
Hi every body,

i have a simple problem and I need your help.

I have a part with a simple shape: it consists of differents volume with cubic shape.

But when I want to mesh my body using "mapped" option, Ansys write an error; He tells me that my body can't be mesh with this option. I don't know why he tells me that.

can you help me?

thanks

RE: meshing "mapped"

Mapped meshing means that opposing lines have the same number of elements. Could it be that you already meshed opposing lines with a earlier mesh command and this does not work out?

No, my body isn't meshed. I create my geometry and that's all.

It's strange because I can mapped my body using Workbench but when I want to mapped using Ansys classic, there is an error.

RE: meshing "mapped"

Hello,

problem solved! You had one error: you have issued VADD instead of VGLUE. By VADD you are getting only 2 volumes with very complicated shapes.

Just an advice: VSWEEP is working much better then VMESH, when it comes to mapped mesh volumes.

See below.

thanks alex

I'm a new user of Ansys and there are a lot of commands and options. It's not very easy...

thanks again
