meshing of concrete block
meshing of concrete block
(OP)
I have a concrete block to be meshed like the attached picture. I have been desperately trying to do so, no success so far, could anyone please help? The block is not a complete cube. My problem mostly arises from a fact that the distance between the mesh lines are not equal...Both top view and side view of the block are provided. I will be very thankful...

..or is that what you already did?

Why don't you slice you solid model at the locations you drawn in the picture and then use the vglue command to get a corresponding mesh at the nodes.
RE: meshing of concrete block
Thank you very much for the tip, I really appreciate it. I actually wanted to avoid dividing the "source" into 5 regions. In that case, there will be 5 small blocks (then I would need to constrain coincident nodes, the thing I want to avoid). I was wondering how to mesh the "source" as only one shell (sorry for not being clear).
Thanks again

Otherwise, I don't believe there is a way of meshing exactly as you need it without dividing the source area, unless you define every node individually using the "n" command.
Sorry that I can't be of more help.

Merging nodes through NUMMRG does what I want! Also, "glue"ing the volumes before meshing them solves my problem.
Thank you guys!
