Question on Meshing
Question on Meshing
(OP)
I've been doing some FEA here recently in NX Nastran 5.0 and have been learning some things about meshing, but don't really have a huge grasp of dos and don'ts.
Therefore I am wondering if there are any tutorials or any threads about this?
Because I am having troubles with getting some models to mesh properly and faces are failing. These are pre-made models, that I really can't modify much.
Any info will help thanks.

I was looking for a more general approach, like what type of meshing should be used for what type of objects. I understand now the smaller the meshing, the better the analysis, but slower the solving.

Actually we are at NX AdvSim 7.0 & NX Nastran 7.0, then since NX 5.0 release things have changed a lot, current version 7.0 is really powerful, and next one 7.5 -due for May,2010- will be another history ...
Well, to learn to use NX 5.0 Advanced Simulation FEA package my advise is to download & install from the SIEMENS FTP the program CAST 5.0: Computer Aided Selft Training, you have many tutorials & examples where you will learn how to mesh, how to apply loads & bcs, solve & interpret FEA results, good luck!.
